Will you join them?

There’s a reason we call you an “employment partner.” We’ll work closely with you from the outset to ensure both you and the graduate have a successful experience.

Once we agree to the partnership, you’ll receive a Take2 Apprenticeship Guide that walks you through the key stages of the first six months of employment. It outlines practical actions to take, provides insights into how your new employee may be feeling, and explains how Take2 will support you along the way.

The value you gain from hiring one of our graduates is just as important as what they gain from working with you.
