Who can you employ as an apprentice?

Who can you employ as an apprentice?

Anyone over the age of 16 who is not in full time education, whether they are a current employee or new to the business, can become an apprentice.

Employers who employ those under the age of 18 must assess the risk to such individuals from a health and safety point of view before they start employment, taking into account their inexperience, lack of awareness of risks and immaturity.
