The A pp* Store is a one-stop-shop that identifies suitable 16-24 year old apprentices to fill employer vacancies. The store handles all training and certification at no cost to employers. Apprentices are trained on the job, developing skills to benefit both them and employers. Employers host apprentices and provide work, while the store manages payroll and legal responsibilities. Apprenticeships typically cost employers 25-40% less than regular hires. There is no risk if apprentices do not work out, and employers who take on apprentices experience higher retention and lower recruitment costs later on.
