Become A Construction Apprentice Employer

Investing in an apprentice is one of the most effective ways to develop skilled, motivated employees while supporting the future of your business. With government funding available for many apprenticeship programmes, training new or existing staff is often far more affordable than employers expect.

At Greenlight, we'll help you understand your funding options, check your eligibility and guide you through the process, making apprenticeship funding simple from start to finish.

Apprentice Employer Expectations & Responsibilities

Being an apprentice employer is straightforward, and you won't be expected to do it alone. Alongside providing your apprentice with valuable workplace experience, there are a few key responsibilities that help ensure they get the most from their apprenticeship. We'll be with you every step of the way to provide guidance and support.

  • As the employer, you'll be responsible for paying your apprentice's wages, along with any other employment benefits they're entitled to, such as holiday pay and pension contributions.

  • Your apprentice should have the opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours required for their apprenticeship through relevant, day-to-day work.

  • Apprentices must spend at least 20% of their contracted hours completing off-the-job learning. This takes place during normal working hours and is designed to support their development.

  • You'll meet regularly with your Greenlight and your apprentice to review progress, celebrate achievements and identify any additional support needed.

  • Provide a safe, supportive workplace where your apprentice can learn, develop and gain confidence while following relevant health and safety procedures.

  • Your apprentice will occasionally need time to attend training sessions, complete assessments or prepare for their End-Point Assessment.
