About Us
Shared Apprenticeships is an approved FlexiJob Apprenticeship Agency and Shared Apprenticeship Service, accredited by the Department for Education (DfE) and co-funded by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB). We specialise in providing flexible apprenticeship solutions that tackle the challenges within the construction industry, including the skills shortages and the constraints of the traditional apprenticeship model.
Since 2015, Shared Apprenticeships has provided companies with the opportunity to engage apprentices on flexible, shorter-term contracts. This approach allows businesses to meet their apprenticeship requirements, even when a full-time, traditional apprenticeship isn't practical. Our solution not only supports businesses in addressing their workforce needs but also creates valuable apprenticeship opportunities within local communities, playing a vital role in closing the skills gap in the industry.
At Shared Apprenticeships, we take care of every aspect of the apprenticeship journey, from recruitment and employment to college placements and qualifications. We also facilitate on-site training across various contractors, providing a flexible and efficient alternative to the traditional apprenticeship model.
Shared Apprenticeships are a proud member of BESAS (Built Environment Shared Apprenticeship Service).

Our partnership brings together the expertise and commitment of EN:Able Futures, TrAC, CoTrain, Shared Apprenticeships South West, Calico Enterprise, and Evolve Apprenticeships, covering the entire country.
