Work and skills

It is vital for employers to access staff with the right skills to help them grow their businesses. There are several ways to expand your business whilst supporting Surrey's local economy and increasing your organisation's Social Value profile.

Bring on new skill sets through apprentices and trainees and save money hiring

An apprenticeship is a way for young people to earn while they learn in a real job, becoming skilled in a trade or a job, gaining a real qualification and a real future. A traineeship is an education and training programme with work experience that is focused on giving young people the skills and experience that employers are looking for. It is a stepping stone into employment, apprenticeships or further training.
