Green Apprentices can bring real benefit to your business

Governments, business, industry and individuals are adapting in order to reduce their impact on the environment. In response to this, the ‘green’ jobs market is growing to accommodate the increased demand for environmental services.

To support these services, the NE Apprenticeship Company and Environmental Academy have developed the ‘Green Apprenticeship Scheme’. The starting cost to hire an apprentice is just £115 per week. We screen and select the right apprentice for your organisation and offer support along the way.

A recent study from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has found that an average apprentice will add the most value to the economy over their working life compared to other learning streams. This studay also found that apprenticeships generate around £40 for each £1 of Government investment.
