Recruiting an Apprentice

The benefits of an apprenticeship are as much for the business and its staff as the apprentices themselves.

Contact Us to find out how DYWICH and our partners can help you reap the benefits of recruiting and supporting an apprentice.

Supporting or Offering a Work-Related Project

Work-related learning and projects can inspire young minds and influence future employees. Could you host a work-place visit or add value to a schools curriculum?

Got an idea, then contact us or your local school co-ordinator. Or why not explore our Case Studies.

Becoming a School Partner

Sharing your knowledge and understanding with a school/college helps support and develop the skills, attributes and experiences needed for the World of Work. Discover your potential by reading some of our Case Studies with Education and Contact Us.

Offering a Work Experience Placement

Could you offer a meaningful opportunity for a young person to experience the World of Work?

A work placement is a vital tool in developing essential skills and shaping young minds as they become the next-generation workforce.
