Quote from Apetito: “The apprenticeship gave us a different avenue to recruit and develop highly skilled people. Particularly in finance, it can sometimes be challenging to attract the right kind of talent to somewhere less central, so it’s given us another route.”
Quote from love your accountants: “As a small employer the ICAEW apprenticeship scheme really helps from a cost perspective and ensures that our staff are receiving the highest quality support and training.”
