Reaseheath College helps employers hire apprentices in a variety of sectors such as agriculture, animal care, equine, veterinary nursing, horticulture, construction and engineering.
There has never been a better time to hire an apprentice. Take advantage of the government incentive. Employers and training providers could get £1,000 each for taking on an apprentice who is either:
- aged 16 to 18 years old, or
- aged 19 to 25 years old and has an education, health and care (EHC) plan or has been in the care of their local authority.

How could an apprentice help you?
Employers like you use apprenticeships to bring new talent and a fresh perspective to their business or to develop the skills of existing members of staff. Research suggests this can improve productivity, reduce recruitment costs and lead to a more motivated workforce.
At Reaseheath we’re industry focused and career ready and we’re experts in developing apprentices’ skills, knowledge and behaviours. All training is delivered by our industry expert assessors and teaching staff, with support from employers and mentors. As an employer, you can pass on your industry expertise to develop the skills of your apprentice and teach them skills needed to succeed in their chosen career.
By employing an apprentice, you’ll be helping them kick start their career, giving them essential first-hand knowledge of how the industry works and a recognised qualification to help aid their career progression.
Why choose an apprenticeship through Reaseheath College?
Reaseheath College is one of the UK’s leading specialist land-based colleges, which offers apprenticeships in a variety of land-based industries.
We have some of the best specialist facilities and resources in the country, thanks to a £80 million investment across campus. With this in mind, you can be confident that your apprentice will be taught with the most relevant and up-to-date tools and techniques required for the industry.
Can you provide a student work placement?
If you would like to see how a student can support your business before hiring an apprentice, we have many students who are looking for employers to offer them a work placement.
Many forward-thinking employers benefit from students bringing fresh ideas to their business. By working with us, you will be aligning your business with Cheshire’s premier land-based college, and it will give you the opportunity to trial potential future employees. We can also promote your business to a wide audience through social media, web links or case studies.
Placements can be flexible to fit the needs of your business. Students can attend one day per week (including weekends) or for an extended time in one block. Dependent on course level and curriculum area, students are required to complete a different length of placement. This can vary from 100-150 hours to 45 days, and will give them the chance to learn what it’s really like to work within their chosen sector.
Please contact us today if you feel this would benefit your business.

Funding information on the apprenticeship levy
The levy was introduced on 6th April 2017. The levy applies to both public and private employers across all sectors with a payroll bill in excess of £3m a year.
The apprenticeship levy was introduced to large employers who have an annual payroll in excess of £3m, at a rate of 0.5% of their PAYE wage bill.
Yes, you can. Reaseheath Training offers all businesses and organisations a free training needs analysis to discover what areas of your business would benefit through upskilling your existing workforce through the apprenticeship programme.
Funds will expire 24 months after they enter your digital account unless you spend them on apprenticeship training with a training provider. You can, however, support smaller businesses by gifting your apprenticeship levy (up to 25%). Reaseheath Training can help facilitate this process.
Smaller employers, who do not pay the apprenticeship levy, now have full access to the apprenticeship service. This service allows the facility to reserve funds for training.
