Employing a disabled apprentice makes good business sense. By opening up apprenticeship opportunities to disabled people you can:

• Connect to a wider pool of potential employees
• Gain a new and diverse range of skills and experience
• Enhance diversity and inclusion in your organisation
• Increase disability awareness within your workforce
• Ensure you are an equal opportunity employer

Disabled people have a broad range qualifications, skills and experience which are relevant to all sectors and roles. Plus disabled people problem solve continually on a daily basis - much more than someone who has not got a disability. Disabled people can also provide a different perspective to help develop new and innovative ideas, products, and services. These attributes are extremely desirable for any employer.
