The apprentice recruitment process
Register with the Apprenticeship Service
You must legally register an apprenticeship with the Government by creating an account online.
You can advertise your vacancies here and potential apprentices can search for opportunities using this platform.
Registering here will also give you access to vital apprenticeship funding.
If you struggle to register or advertise your Apprenticeship, we can support you.
Tell us your requirements
Tell us about your Apprenticeship recruitment requirements and we will add you onto our recruitment list for that academic year.
You can also advertise your Apprenticeship opportunity on the national “Find an Apprenticeship” website, on our website, and on social media to reach the best quality candidates.
Applications
Applicants can apply directly to you.
We can also accept applications on your behalf from candidates who are looking to pursue an Apprenticeship.
Some applicants will apply via our website and submit a CV before completing an English and Maths initial assessment.
This will be followed by an interview with a member of our Business Support Team.
These steps will assess the applicant’s suitability to start an Apprenticeship.
Shortlisting
Once applicants successfully passed our shortlisting process, we match your requirements against those who are shortlisted.
We share the shortlisted applicants with you and provide you with the relevant information.
You can invite shortlisted applicants for a formal interview at your premises.
Employment offer
Following selection of a suitable applicant, you need to offer the job and send an employment offer and inform us.
We will meet with you, and your new apprentice and complete all the relevant paperwork.
How can I be sure the candidate is suitable?
Derwent Training applicants are put through a rigorous shortlisting process, and our Business Support Team screen all applicants to check their suitability to start an apprenticeship before we shortlist them for your opportunity.
Candidates are required to undergo scanning and an English and Maths initial assessment and recruitment interview before you even meet them, ensuring that you only see the best quality candidates.
