Details
Employers are responsible for providing apprentices with a job role that enables them to develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to complete their apprenticeship. This includes providing:
- appropriate on-the-job support and supervision
- accurate data
- effective service management in line with employer agreements
This policy applies to all public and private sector employers, including employer-providers, that use apprenticeship funding or non-standard funding, such as time-limited employer incentives.
