If you are going to take on Retail leadership (integrated degree) apprentices from a government-funded program, you will need to sign an apprenticeship agreement with them. This means you need to think about the terms of this agreement before you begin work with your apprentice. Here we look at what the key points to include in your apprenticeship agreement are as well as the available funding for the Retail leadership (integrated degree) apprenticeship.
The apprenticeship agreement is a statutory requirement for the employment of an apprentice in connection with an approved apprenticeship standard. An apprenticeship agreement must be in place when an individual starts a statutory apprenticeship programme and should remain in place throughout the apprenticeship. The end date is when the end-point assessment is due to be completed.
The Retail leadership (integrated degree) apprenticeship typically lasts 48 months and the end of qualification assessment is provided by Quality Assurance Agency (QAA).
The apprentice will learn to act as a brand ambassador who will lead, motivate and develop a team of retail-based employees, to deliver sales and profit targets.
The Retail leadership (integrated degree) apprenticeship is a Level 6 Sales, marketing and procurement apprenticeship and the maximum funding available for employers is £22,000. You can find more information about the role and funding from the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education.
