Take on a Young Apprentice
Striding Out CIC are giving employers in London the unique opportunity to take on a young apprentice to help with their sales related activities. The role can include:
- Supporting your sales team with administration or client management tasks
- Strengthening your sales team for the future
- Generating new business for your company
- Distributing flyers
- Making sales calls
- The young person will also receive weekly coaching and training
Employing a young apprentice requires you only to pay them £2.50 an hour and you’ll have them for 6 to 9 months (37.5 hours a week), after which you can choose to offer them a permanent role or employ another apprentice. In addition, you’d be supporting the nation’s task of tackling youth unemployment.
