Due to commercial needs and the length of time of the apprenticeship, we can never guarantee a qualified position at the end. However, as a small/medium-sized firm, it is in our best interest, due to the time and financial commitment we have made, to retain our apprentices and we work hard to do so. Attwells have a good retention rate. You are seen as a person and team member in the firm, not a number and have a training manager who helps with career progression.ย ย
