Flexible options for every need
I have really benefitted from the knowledge I’m learning and the break away from the workplace. It’s fantastic for networking and meeting new people outside of your usual workplace. It's important to take the time to upskill outside of our day-to-day roles.
We began working with SEATS last year to deliver our leadership and management apprenticeships. SEATS were able to quality assure apprenticeship providers for us, as well as join us up with other local employers to create viable cohorts which has taken a lot of the stress out of the process.
Southend Theatres worked with SEATS to find a Commis Chef Apprenticeship programme for a member of our Kitchen Hospitality Team at the Cliffs Pavilion. SEATS provided expert knowledge and guidance to ensure we found the best provider to support our apprentice.
We look forward to working with SEATS again as we expand our apprenticeship offer.
Working with SEATS has been a game changer for
us. They have guided us through key aspects such
as understanding the Apprenticeship Levy and
made the process of finding the right training
provider seamless and efficient, saving us time and hassle. Their regular check-ins and support
throughout the process ensured everything ran
smoothly.Highly recommend them for any business looking to streamline their training and development processes!
