Offer Modern Apprenticeships at your workplace
Consider offering Modern Apprenticeships at your workplace. Increase your organisation's productivity* and look after the future of your industry by recruiting and training talented young people under the Modern Apprenticeship programme.
Tranzqual helps form partnerships between employers and trainers. We also help your modern apprentice with their training plan while supporting them to reach their qualification.
Three Modern Apprenticeships are available with Tranzqual:
- Truck driving apprenticeship
- Distribution apprenticeship
- Freight forwarding apprenticeship
It normally takes a modern apprentice two years to qualify. They only need a few hours off work each month to do their training as most training is done on the job.
The Modern Apprenticeship programme is flexible to suit the needs of your business and staff.
Trainees under the Modern Apprenticeship programme:
- work full time
- earn while they learn
- get nationally recognised qualifications while on the job
- gain experience, skills and knowledge from those working within the industry
- receive support from a Tranzqual mentor to help them succeed
- are usually aged between 16 and 21 years old (although older people looking to change careers may also qualify)
- need to have work in the road transport and logistics industries with an employer who's offering an apprenticeship
- need to be ready and prepared to work towards a National Certificate.
