INCREASED COST EFFICIENCY
With The Juice Academy, you can pick an apprentice with the traits and abilities that your business truly needs – and bring them in for a fraction of the price of a graduate. The Apprenticeship Levy and Government funding is in place too, so you can either use your levy pot or save money on the training for the apprentices you hire. Save on NI contributions for apprentices under 25 and receive a cash bonus if under 18.
FRESH AND DIVERSE TALENT
Attract new talent with fresh perspectives to the technical/digital economy, driving social mobility and neurodiversity and diversifying your workforce whilst building and moulding your own teams.
NEW SKILLS
Apprentices have 20% off the job training therefore, 20% of their time is spent learning new skills that they can then use in your business. These might be new and updated skills that are being introduced to the business for the first time, therefore benefitting the business as well as training the apprentice.
TACKLE SKILLS SHORTAGE
Apprentices can help tackle the constant skills shortage. In addition to apprentices being a huge benefit to your business, they are also crucial to fill the current skills gaps. This is essential in industries such as digital and technology and therefore your future workforce.

​
FUNDRAISER LEVEL 3
​
We identified a gap for the fundraising apprenticeship, especially as the charity sector often struggles to retain their fundraising staff. Charities going down this route know they secure their apprentice for 15 months and providing the apprentice receives a good working experience, apprentices are very loyal and remain with the business on completion of their apprenticeship (85% of Juice graduates currently stay with the same company). Young people passionate about the third sector and making a difference will be put forwards for this apprenticeship - and who better than digitally savvy, creative and enthusiastic people to support your fundraising!
