WORKING WITH EMPLOYERS
Recruiting an apprentice involves finding someone who is right for both the role and your organisation. Gateway works closely with employers to understand the vacancy, the skills required and the type of candidate who is likely to succeed within the business.
Rather than sending large numbers of unsuitable applications, Gateway focuses on identifying and preparing candidates who meet the requirements of the apprenticeship and the employer’s brief.
We can support the process from the initial vacancy and candidate search through to interviews, apprenticeship arrangements and the introduction of the successful candidate to their training programme.
HOW WE SUPPORT YOU
Gateway helps employers manage the key stages involved in bringing an apprentice into their organisation, providing one point of contact throughout the process.
We take time to understand the role, your organisation and what you're looking for from an apprentice before beginning the candidate search.
Suitable applicants are identified and interviewed before being introduced to you, with candidates prepared so they understand both the vacancy and the apprenticeship.
Once you've chosen your apprentice, Gateway helps bring together the employer, apprentice and training provider so the programme can get off to a clear and organised start.
ONGOING SUPPORT
Employing the right person is only the beginning. A successful apprenticeship also relies on clear communication between the employer, apprentice and training provider throughout the programme.
Gateway helps employers understand what happens next and provides a familiar point of contact as the apprenticeship progresses.
From helping establish the programme to answering questions and directing employers towards the right support, our role is to make the apprenticeship journey easier to manage from beginning to end.
THE RIGHT MATCH
Gateway’s approach is centred around understanding both sides of the apprenticeship.
By getting to know the employer, the role and the candidate, we can focus on creating apprenticeship opportunities where expectations are clear and both parties have the right foundations to succeed.
