Changing employer
Find out more information on how to change employers during your apprenticeship.
Changing your employer
If you want to change employers but continue with the same apprenticeship, you can usually do so without interrupting your apprenticeship. However, there are some things that need to be considered:
- Your new employer needs to agree to fund and support you through the apprenticeship.
- We need to assess your new job role to ensure it matches with the apprenticeship standard you are undertaking.
- We’ll also need to enter into an agreement with your new employer before your apprenticeship training with them can begin.
These things can take time to arrange and so, you should notify the University straight away if you’re changing employer. It’s a good idea to do this even if you’re only thinking about changing employer but haven’t yet done so. We can provide you with the expertise and guidance you need.
Leaving without a new employer
If you decide to leave your current employment and do not have a new employer who is able to support and fund your apprenticeship then you won’t be able to continue with your apprenticeship training at NTU. In this scenario you may be able to transfer onto a self-funded non-apprenticeship course at the University and continue to achieve your higher education award. You should speak to a member of your course team about this option.
If you’re made redundant
If you are made redundant by your employer you may be able to continue with your apprenticeship and undertake your end-point assessment. Please see the guidance about redundancy.
