Apprenticeships

Catch22 has a skilled and experienced team who provide apprenticeships to meet the needs of businesses of all sizes from a range of industries.

We work with businesses to understand their skills gaps and with our expert knowledge of young people help them recruit the apprentice that is right for them and provide ongoing support to both the apprentice and the business.
 

What is a Catch22 apprenticeship?

A Catch22 apprenticeship is a package of on-the-job training and qualifications designed around the needs of the employer. You can use our apprenticeships to train both new and existing employees.

If the apprentice is aged 16 to 24-years-old there is no cost to you for their training - all you have to pay is their wages (the National Minimum Wage for apprentices under the age of 19 is £2.60 per hour). If you are a small or medium sized employer you may also be eligible for a £1,500 Apprenticeship Grant.

Most of the training is ‘on the job’ – at your premises, Catch22 will guide and advise you on this and take care of any training that takes place away from your premises.
 

Why choose a Catch22 apprenticeship?

With over 200 years of experience we know how to recruit and support young people who are right for your role and able to grow with your company. Catch22 will provide you with a professional service, offering bespoke ongoing support to both you and your apprentice.

We will work with you to:
