“When you walk on the shop floor it has a real positive feel.”
From our perspective, apprentices add to the mix on the shop floor. We have experienced team members who are passing on their knowledge but the apprentices bring new ideas, have different skills and are more tech-savvy.
We initially just put the feelers out there, and we got in contact with the head of business development, James Lund. It’s easy. I ask for apprentices, he sends through their CVs, and we then choose, interview and select who we want to hire.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you can’t find the answer to a question, our advisers will be happy to help.
At Chesterfield College Group, our apprenticeships are designed in partnership with industry experts to align with the latest skills needs in each sector. We work closely with you to understand your business’s unique challenges and tailor our programs to equip apprentices with the critical skills required in their specific roles. By focusing on real-world applications, our apprenticeships help address targeted skills gaps, enhancing your team’s productivity and competitiveness.
We aim to make apprenticeships accessible and affordable for employers. The cost depends on factors such as the apprenticeship level and the apprentice’s age, but government funding often covers up to 95% of the training costs for small to medium enterprises. Additionally, there are financial incentives for employers who take on apprentices, including grants for hiring young apprentices or those new to the workforce. Our team can walk you through these funding options to maximise cost-effectiveness.
Apprentices begin contributing to your organisation’s goals from day one, applying what they learn in real time. While the complete duration of apprenticeships can vary depending on the level and industry, most employers see significant progress within the first few months. Chesterfield College Group provides ongoing support to ensure apprentices have the guidance and resources needed to develop steadily, adding value early on and building toward full productivity.
We’re here to support you every step of the way. Chesterfield College Group assigns a dedicated apprenticeship coordinator to each employer, assisting with training plans, progress monitoring, and ongoing assessments. We handle the bulk of the formal training, but we do encourage mentors within your team to help integrate apprentices into your workplace culture. This shared support structure allows apprentices to gain both academic and practical skills, ensuring they succeed and feel fully integrated into your team.
Apprenticeships are an ideal way to build a sustainable talent pipeline. Chesterfield College Group helps you nurture apprentices from the ground up, instilling both the technical skills and the company-specific knowledge they’ll need for long-term success. Many apprentices go on to stay with their employers after completing their training, reducing turnover and ensuring a steady influx of skilled talent familiar with your business values and processes. By investing in apprenticeships, you’re creating a reliable pathway for developing loyal, highly skilled employees for years to come.
