Our remit is to secure apprenticeship opportunities for young people across a wide range of occupational sectors. We achieve this through working in partnership with our Apprenticeship Delivery Partners who comprise independent Training Providers and Colleges that hold contracts with the Education and Skills Funding Agency to deliver Apprenticeships in our region or nationally and meet SEAC's quality standards.

Mutually beneficial

Our partnership arrangements with providers achieve a mutually beneficial way of working together. Most frequently SEAC source the Host Companies, carry out the recruitment of the Apprentices and source an appropriate delivery partner to provide the training. However, providers are also able to use the SEAC model of delivery as a marketing tool in their own business development.

Flexibility

The SEAC service can be offered as a recruitment solution to those companies who would like to have an apprentice working in their business but, for what ever reason, are either reluctant or not in a position to employ an apprentice direct. This means that the provider secures an Apprenticeship training opportunity that, under the traditional model of delivery, would not normally have been available to them.

If an Apprentice comes "out of placement" for any reason it is SEAC's responsibility to secure an alternative Host Company to enable the Apprenticeship to continue. Meanwhile the Apprentice remains on full pay for 2 weeks.

Successful outcomes

SEAC do not ask our delivery partners to change their delivery process or methods or any of the paperwork they use and providers retain complete autonomy in respect of the Apprenticeship Framework / Standard delivery. SEAC act as an impartial problem solver and support our partners toward achieving a successful outcome for all parties.
