Our services to employers
CMN can support apprentice recruitment and confirm suitable Apprenticeships for a business. CMN can then help with the on-boarding process. This includes conducting skills scans and initial assessments. Confirming candidate suitability/eligibility and exploring any support needs.
Once the Apprenticeship commences, we assign an assessor who regularly visits and builds an e-portfolio of evidence, providing on and off job training and makes regular reviews. The apprentices learning can take place online or through face to face visits and various assignments. Our assessors provide regular reviews and support the business and learner through the entire process.
