Apprenticeships

Overview

The London Borough of Sutton is home to over 8,200 businesses, and we believe that apprenticeships can play an important part in the local economy by improving skills and driving productivity. 

An apprenticeship enables an individual to study for a work-based qualification that can significantly improve their skills and career enjoyment.

Information for Business – Apprenticeship Levy

In Spring 2017 the way the government funds apprenticeships changed. Some employers will now be required to contribute to the cost of training for apprentices and larger employers will be subject to the full costs through the Apprenticeship Levy: The levy requires all employers operating in the UK, with a pay bill over £3 million each year, to invest in apprenticeships.

For help and advice about how this might affect your business, contact Candice.McCausland@Sutton.gov.uk

JACE Childcare Academy

JACE are excited to be launching their new JACE Childcare Academy, and can take enquiries now for an August 2020 start. This is a new Apprenticeship offer from JACE to bring young people in to a substantial and local programme when they just leave school or college. For more information, please click here.

Their updated course directory can be found here. You can also take a look around their new Wallington centre via video tour.

The Sutton Apprenticeship Hub

The Sutton Apprenticeship Hub aims to address this challenge. It was designed and developed by Sutton apprentices and helps match the supply and demand of apprenticeship opportunities across Sutton.

The hub is a resource for young people and their parents, educators and businesses, to find out more information about the benefits of starting, or offering an apprenticeship and the career prospects involved.
