Kickstart employers are currently supporting young people by providing them with valuable work experience and developing essential employability skills within their companies.

Many employers may be thinking about the next steps for their Kickstart employees and how they may continue to support them going forward.

The Department for Work & Pensions, the D2N2 Local Enterprise Partnership and Kickstart Gateway organisations are delivering this webinar to support employers to better understand progression opportunities for their ‘Kickstarters’ with a particular emphasis on progression into Apprenticeships. This webinar will give information on how an apprenticeship may be an ideal way of continuing to develop young people’s career and employment skills after the Kickstart placement.

You will hear from employers on how apprenticeships are benefitting their companies and the range of incentives that are currently available to recruit apprentices.

This will include an apprentice outlining how their apprenticeship is supporting their career development and business skill needs.

Other organisations will give information on how employers can engage positively with Apprenticeships and some of the flexibilities to Apprenticeship recruitment that are currently available across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. This includes hearing from an Apprenticeship Training agency which allows employers to benefit from an apprentice in the workplace without employing them directly.

The link to the event will be sent to you in the booking confirmation email.
