The free signposting service can support companies with their employment and training needs.

It has established relationships with many colleges and training providers and is able to provide a link for businesses looking for help in finding apprentices.

The foundation can advertise any apprenticeship vacancies free of charge.

County firms can also become a member of the Ladder for Staffordshire and find out about the many benefits for choosing to recruit an apprentice or enrol a member of staff on an apprenticeship.

Apprenticeships are available to all age groups and businesses could be entitled to a £1,000 government incentive if they recruit or enrol an apprentice if they are aged 16 to 18-years-old.

Depending on the size of your company, if you recruit or enrol 16 to 18-year-old, course fees could be also waivered.

Businesses can offer an apprenticeship wage at £5.28 per hour and get to shape and mould new colleagues into the best person for the organisation.

The foundation also offers a free recruitment service.

To access this free service please contact Tracey Boulton on 07734 814912 or e-mail tracey.boulton@ladderforstaffordshire.co.uk
