How accounting apprenticeships can support your business growth

9th June 2025

East Surrey College is offering local businesses the opportunity to secure their talent pipeline with accounting and business administration apprentices who are seeking reputable employers.

73% of UK companies currently experience skills shortages, with many specifically facing difficulties hiring accounting related roles. For small employers, the recruitment process often requires extensive one-to-one training and development which can strain already limited resources. At East Surrey College, we can help relieve some of that burden.

By partnering with us, you will have the opportunity to access a pool of motivated and well-prepared apprentices who can bring fresh perspectives and up-to-date knowledge to your organisation. Our training can be catered to align with your specific business needs, ensuring that apprentices are equipped with the skills that matter most to you.

To explore this opportunity further, we are organising networking events where you can meet our students to discuss potential apprenticeship placements and speak to staff about the training content and apprenticeship requirements. Our networking events are a fantastic way to connect with students that are eager to work alongside esteemed local employers.

If you’re interested in learning more about the potential apprentices we have, or would like to enquire about the funding and support options that may be available then please contact our Employer Services team via email: employerservices@esc.ac.uk
