OUR SERVICES
From apprentice recruitment and funding guidance to training provider support and workplace development, Gateway helps employers manage apprenticeships with clarity and confidence.
APPRENTICE RECRUITMENT
Gateway specialises in supporting law firms with apprenticeship recruitment, helping employers identify candidates who are suited to both the role and the organisation.
We take a straightforward and personal approach, working with employers to understand what they need from a new apprentice before helping them navigate the available apprenticeship opportunities.
Our focus is on creating the right foundations from the beginning, giving employers greater confidence when bringing new talent into their business.
PROGRAMME SUPPORT
Introducing an apprenticeship programme involves more than selecting a qualification. Employers need to understand the training requirements, their responsibilities and how the apprenticeship will work alongside the employee’s day-to-day role.
Gateway supports employers throughout this process, helping to coordinate the different elements of an apprenticeship and providing a clear point of contact as the programme progresses.
Whether you’re recruiting a new apprentice or developing an existing employee, we help make the process easier to understand and manage.
INDEPENDENT GUIDANCE
Gateway is not tied to a single training provider. This allows us to take an impartial approach when helping employers and apprentices consider the training available to them.
We work with established training providers and help identify an appropriate option based on the apprenticeship, the learner and the needs of the employer.
That independence means the conversation can remain focused on finding suitable training rather than promoting one particular provider.
FUNDING & ELIGIBILITY
Apprenticeship funding and eligibility can vary depending on the apprentice, employer and programme being considered.
Gateway helps employers understand the relevant requirements before an apprenticeship begins, including eligibility, employer contributions and how apprenticeship funding may apply.
For organisations that pay the Apprenticeship Levy, we can also help explain how apprenticeship training can fit within the wider funding process.
EMPLOYER SUPPORT
Employers play an important role in an apprentice’s development, providing the workplace experience, supervision and opportunities needed to build occupational competence.
Gateway helps employers understand what is expected throughout the apprenticeship, from workplace training and protected learning time through to the agreements and ongoing support involved in the programme.
The aim is to make responsibilities clear from the outset so that both the employer and apprentice know what to expect.
WORK-BASED TRAINING
Apprenticeships aren’t only for people starting a new job. They can also provide a structured route for existing employees to develop new skills, build confidence and work towards recognised qualifications while remaining in employment.
Gateway helps employers explore work-based development opportunities that support both the individual and the wider organisation.
Investing in existing employees can strengthen capability across a team while providing a clear pathway for continued professional development.
