Networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter can be extremely effective in raising your company's profile, and giving you access to a constantly-updating news medium.

Social media could prove the ideal platform for building an audience for your company's products or services, and gives you instant rapport with your customers.

So why aren't you part of it? Or maybe you are, but feel you could be doing more.

With the help of one of our social media and marketing apprentices, you can make full use of online networking.

Our Apprenticeships

Apprentices need to be employed by your business, and whilst there's no minimum contract period, we want to place apprentices with companies on a train-and-stay basis, and aim to provide them with sustainable employment.

They must be employed for at least 30 hours per week at a minimum hourly rate of £2.60, which is £107 per week for full-time employees working 37 hours.

We encourage employers to review the performance of their apprentices on a quarterly basis, when their salaries can also be reassessed, based on the benefits the apprentice is bringing to your business.

During the first 12 months, apprentices will attend on-going training with SSC for one day per month. We encourage them to bring along information about projects they are working on for you, which we can offer advice and support to help them develop.
