Recruitment of Apprentices
APAC will support employers to recruit apprentices. Once an employer informs us, they have a vacancy for an apprentice we will advertise the vacancy on the gov.uk site. This will enable us to support to you as an employer to engage the most suitable candidate for your apprenticeship vacancy.
