From Supporting Provider to Employer or Main Provider

What to consider before switching your status

Many commercial training providers and employers ‘dip their toes’ into apprenticeship waters by becoming a Supporting Provider (subcontractor) first and then a Main or Employer Provider at a later stage. But what does it take to be a fully-fledged Main or Employer Provider and what are the key considerations before switching your status? This webinar will provide some key insights for Supporting Providers who may consider becoming a Main or Employer Provider in the future.

Objectives

The expected outcomes for the audience are:

• Understanding the key differences between Supporting Providers and Employer or Main providers
• Exploring the journey to Main or Employer Provider status from Supporting Provider
• Identifying examples of ‘blind spots’ that could have adverse or negative consequences without adequate planning
