Unlock the Benefits of Apprenticeships
Harness the potential of the next generation of talent with Riverside. Our outstanding apprentices bring innovative perspectives and fresh ideas to your business, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter in your future.
Increased cost-efficiency
With Riverside, you can select an apprentice who possesses the traits and skills your business truly needs—at a fraction of the cost of hiring a graduate. Plus, with the Apprenticeship Levy, you have the opportunity to save money or reclaim taxes on the apprentices you bring on board.
Higher-performing workforce
Apprentices can significantly boost productivity and contribute to long-term profitability. Our Skill Development Programs enable apprentices to hone their skills in specific areas that align with your business needs. By taking on tasks that typically occupy your senior staff’s time, your apprentice can help increase efficiency and free up valuable resources.
Enhancing Your Skillset
Whether you’re looking to expand your workforce or launch a significant recruitment drive, hiring an apprentice is the smartest strategy to future-proof your organisation. Our apprentices empower you to strengthen your team, enhance your brand image, and elevate your reputation in your sector by infusing new skills.
Discover Your Ideal Candidate
Apprentices are encouraged to pursue their areas of strength, allowing clients to confidently invest in candidates whose personalities and niche skills align perfectly with their needs.
Why Riverside

In addition to assisting with the hiring process, we offer monthly e-learning sessions that equip our apprentices with essential knowledge. Our monthly coaching calls, led by dedicated Personal Development Coaches, provide support from start to finish. These coaches not only guide apprentices but also empower employers with the skills, assistance, and information needed to successfully integrate their new employees.
The Apprenticeship Levy
The Apprenticeship Levy is a compulsory tax for employers with an annual salary bill of £3 million or more, used to pay for apprenticeship programmes across the UK… but not enough organisations are making the most of it. Every kind of company can – and should – take advantage of the Apprenticeship Levy. It’s funding for fresh talent that can transform your workforce.
Levy paying organisations
(Payroll bill over £3m)
If you’re a big business already paying a 0.5% levy, you need to take advantage of the funds before they reach their expiry date (two years).
Instead of simply handing over thousands to HMRC, why not make a smarter financial move and use this money to bring on board a new or upskilled member of staff?
A budget is sitting there ready and waiting. Check your digital account online at any time to see how much you have available to put towards an apprenticeship programme.
Non-levy paying organisations
(Payroll bill under £3m)
As a non-levy payer, employers share the cost of the Apprenticeship Programme and End Point Assessment with the Government – this is called Co-Investment. As of April 2019, the Government funds 95% and the employer 5%.
