Our core business is the provision of apprenticeship training to anyone aged 16 and above in Cumbria. We also provide NVQ only programmes through Adult Skills Funding and Commercial Training to anyone who is employed and aged 19 or over.
An apprenticeship is a work-based training programme, which enables anyone over the age of 16 to earn while they learn as they will develop new skills and achieve nationally recognised qualifications whilst at work.
It is a three way partnership where the apprentice, employer and RWP work together to provide the apprentice with the most suitable opportunities for learning.
Young people aged 16-18 are entitled to full funding from the Skills Funding Agency if their employer employs less than 50 employees and has an annual pay bill below 3 million. All applicants are interviewed by our Recruitment Team and will undertake a series of short assessments to enable us to prepare a CV to send to employers.
Adults over the age of 19 are not entitled to full funding for the apprenticeship. This means our adult learners are only entitled to partial funding, which means their employer will be expected to make a contribution towards their training. Depending on the number of employers the employer employs and what the annual pay bill equate to will depend on how the apprenticeship is funded.
We support employers wishing to take on a new apprentice or develop the skills of existing members of staff. We carry out the initial recruitment process, deliver the training and monitor the candidates ongoing performance.
