ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
The Apprentify Group is expanding its network of Associate Digital Skills Trainers to support current and future delivery across the Group. The associate trainer pool will be managed by Netcom, our adult skills training business, with opportunities offered according to subject expertise, availability and programme requirements.
This is an ongoing opportunity rather than recruitment for one fixed vacancy. Successful candidates will join our associate trainer pool and may be offered individual delivery contracts of varying value, scope and duration as suitable programmes become available.
Most current opportunities are expected to involve virtual evening delivery. Some face-to-face delivery opportunities may also arise, but face-to-face availability is not essential.
