Are you on the hunt for junior talent to build capacity in your data team? Our coaches will work with you to turn individuals with a passion for numbers into junior data analysts operating at every stage of the data lifecycle. We’ll help you map their journey from entry to your organisation and map your apprentice’s progression as their skills develop.
Our passion is helping you nurture tech talent. We want to help junior data analysts build the careers they desire and find a sense of belonging through their apprenticeship. However big their ambitions are, they’ll always remember where they started.
What will my apprentice learn?
Your apprentice will learn how to use dashboard and visualisation tools alongside programming languages for data analysis including SQL, Python and R. Our expert coaches will coach your apprentice through topics such as:
Are you looking to hire a new team member or do you have someone in mind? If you’ve already got someone on board, you may want to skip to the next section. Otherwise, keep reading.
Step 1: We work with you to recruit an apprentice. We’ll advertise your vacancy, conduct the initial screening and telephone interviews and set work-related challenges at no extra cost, before passing promising candidates to you for interview. Candidates range from school and college leavers to graduates to those with some work experience under their belt.
Step 2: You interview a selection of candidates and make the hiring decision. The apprentice is employed by you and works within your business. They spend 20% of their time (approx. 1 day per week) on off-the-job training, working towards their Level 4 qualification.
Step 3: Over 18 months, we coach your apprentice through their exams and coursework and help them apply their new knowledge and skills in the workplace. This coaching can be delivered at one of our training venues, online or at your premises.
Step 4: As your apprentice develops their skills, they start adding huge value to your team and bring a fresh perspective to business challenges.
Step 5: Your apprentice undertakes End Point Assessment and successfully completes their apprenticeship.
How much does it cost?
If your business has an annual payroll bill of more than £3m you will already be paying the apprenticeship levy. This money can be used to fund apprenticeship training and any money not spent reverts to the government.
Once your levy fund has been spent, or if you have a PAYE bill of less than £3m, the government pays 95% of the apprenticeship cost and you pay the remaining 5%. For the Data Analyst standard this means the maximum you will be asked to pay is £750 per apprentice towards the cost of their training.
The biggest cost to hiring an apprentice is their salary. Although the minimum wage for apprentices is £7.55 per hour, we’d recommend a salary of £18,000 to £25,000 per annum for a Data Analyst to attract the right people to your role.
You can also take advantage of a £1,000 incentive payment from the government if your apprentice is aged 16-18 or 19-24 with an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan.
