Ixion-CG Apprenticeship Programme

The Ixion-CG Apprenticeship Programme has been introduced to offer you Apprentices between the ages of 16-18 years old who are looking for employment.

There are a range of Apprenticeship options available to you, including the new Apprenticeship in Business Administration, which offer training and skills development to deliver real returns to your business bottom line.

In fact, in a recent survey, the majority of employers said that Apprenticeships helped them to improve productivity and to be more competitive. They also said that training Apprentices is more cost effective than hiring skilled staff, leading to lower overall training and recruitment costs.

“Apprenticeships have been re-established as a genuine and nationally recognised qualification; one that offers valuable workplace development for talented and ambitious people.”

At Ixion-CG we are currently looking at recruiting companies such as yours to take on an Apprentice to train for the Business Administration Apprenticeship, or you can train an existing employee if you already employ someone who is 16-18 years old.

The programme lasts 6-7 months, but the benefits last longer as Apprentices tend to be eager, motivated, flexible and loyal to the company that invested in them.

For more information about this or any other Apprenticeship Programme please call
