How do you use the Digital Apprenticeship Service to Recruit apprentices?

The Digital Apprenticeship Service (DAS) is not just about funding and approvals – it can also support recruitment.

Employers can use DAS to advertise apprenticeship vacancies nationally and connect with approved training providers like South Hampshire College Group. This helps them reach a wide pool of potential candidates while being confident that the role is linked to a recognised apprenticeship standard.

From an employer perspective, DAS can be used to: -

  • Create and publish apprenticeship vacancies 
  • Highlight key role details (duties, hours, salary, entry requirements) -
  • Make the vacancy visible to prospective apprentices searching online
  • Shortlist and manage applicants in one place

From a training provider perspective, we use DAS to: -

  • Help employers shape suitable apprenticeship roles that align with standards
  • Advise on realistic entry requirements and progression routes
  •  Support the drafting of clear, attractive vacancy adverts
  •  Ensure the selected apprenticeship standard, funding route and start dates all join up with the recruitment plan
Used well, DAS becomes part of a joined‑up recruitment process: employers attract the right candidates, and we work alongside them to make sure the vacancy, training programme and funding are all correctly set up from the start.
