Employment and Apprenticeships

Carlisle College has launched a new web site specifically for local employers. It has information about the type of apprenticeships and work based learning qualifications available for your staff to help them and you be better prepared to meet the changing demands of your industry sector. http://www.cumbriaapprenticeships.co.uk/

You can find details of available grants to support you with the cost of employing new staff or developing your existing team as well as contact details of a nominated individual who will be able to advise and steer you through the process of acquiring training. You will also benefit from a Twitter feed that will be updated with links to important and relevant news items to keep you abreast of economic and educational changes that may affect you or your industry.

If you have a vacancy at your company we have a facility for you to input the details which will be advertised on our Jobs Board free of charge, this will form part of our new Vacancy Matching service, designed to gather details of prospective apprentices and marry them up to a potential employer.
