Acting as a recruitment agency, the ATA hires out apprentices to 'host' employers, matching a suitable apprentice to the organisation's requirements. By employing the apprentice directly through the ATA, this eliminates the costly recruitment process and provides support for the company through managing the apprentices' wages, holidays and any training they may need. Paul Reeves Business Development Director for Brinsworth Academy said: -We are pleased to be able to add to our apprenticeship offer through this route. The skills and expertise apprentices bring to businesses is vital to the local and wider economy. Attendees will also hear about the new Traineeship offer which will allow young people to have training and a work placement to develop their engineering skills and allow employers to offer a free work trial as part of their recruitment process. A keynote speech at the event will be given by Lindsay Middleton, National Manager (North) of SEMTA. This will be followed with an overview of the ATA by Jakki Lovewell, Head of Stafforce Apprentice Academy, Wayne Miller, Employer Services Manager National Apprenticeship Service, and a question and answer session with employer Koyo Bearings Europe.
