National Apprenticeship Week is the perfect time to recognise the value of apprenticeships and highlight how they benefit not just individuals but businesses across all industries.
At Revis & Co we've seen firsthand how investing in apprentices pays off for the entire team. It strengthens our workforce, helps us grow, and keeps us ahead of the curve.
Why hiring apprentices is good for business:
✅ Train Talent to Fit Your Needs
Apprentices learn on the job, gaining skills tailored to your business. You get employees who understand your processes from day one.
✅ Improve Retention & Loyalty
People who start as apprentices often stay long-term because they feel invested in the company. That means lower hiring costs and a more engaged team.
✅ Boost Productivity & Innovation
Apprentices bring fresh ideas, enthusiasm, and a willingness to learn—all of which can lead to better efficiency and creative problem-solving.
✅ Financial Incentives & Support
There are plenty of government incentives and funding options available to help businesses bring in apprentices without breaking the budget.
Revis & Co's apprentice: Ruby
Ruby has been a valued team member for two years now, gaining hands-on experience and building essential skills through her apprenticeship. She’s had the opportunity to work on real projects, develop key skills, and learn from experienced advisors—setting a strong foundation for her future career
"I have benefited from being an apprentice as I've had the experience of learning in the office and in college, allowing me to combine my knowledge and progress in my studies. It's a good way to gain experience in the job you want to do, as you have additional support from your workplace while studying. Being paid while learning is also a great benefit, as it gives you that extra motivation to progress, compared to just being sat in a classroom all week! Being in a real-life setting has also improved my confidence and knowledge of working life from a young age."
