In today’s fast-moving tech industry, companies have to stay ahead of the curve and of the competition. The tech industry is known for its relentless pace of innovation, making it essential for professionals to stay updated with the latest tools, languages, and methodologies. This is also vital when it comes to hiring tech talent.
If you’re an employer deciding between Traditional Hiring Methods or hiring a Tech Apprentice, then here’s what you need to consider:

Traditional hiring can be really time consuming for businesses and their recruitment team. FIT have a dedicated team that carefully screens each apprentice candidate, matching you with interview ready candidates that are the right fit for your business.

Traditional recruiting, onboarding and training methods can be expensive, but tech apprenticeships are a cost-effective way to grow tech savvy teams efficiently. The tech apprentices training is fully funded, and businesses can avail of state grants and gender-based bursaries throughout the two-year programme.
The gender-based bursary is available to employers who employ apprentices on any national apprenticeship programme with greater than 80% representation of a single gender.

While traditional hires have existing qualifications, apprenticeships offer hands-on learning tailored to your organisation. Apprentices gain practical skills from day one by working on real projects within your team.
