Managed Service Providers

Unlock Your MSP's Potential with Keibra Apprenticeships!

Managed Service Providers (MSPs) play a crucial role in the IT ecosystem, delivering crucial services for businesses seeking efficient, cost-effective IT solutions. To stay at the forefront, MSPs need a blend of talent and adaptability. That's why at Keibra, we champion apprenticeships, whether you're aiming to onboard fresh talent or upskill your existing staff.

We redefine apprenticeship programs for MSPs, drawing from our extensive hands-on experience within the industry. Our approach involves offering full, personalised business support and practical, scenario-based training directly at MSP premises. This approach is rooted in our first-hand knowledge of the MSP industry, presenting a high-value, low-risk proposition.

Upskilling isn't just a one-size-fits-all solution; it's a low risk strategic move to strengthen your MSP's workforce and best of all a minimum of 95% of training costs are covered by government funding.

Here's why investing in apprenticeships, whether upskilling current employees or bring in new talent in partnership with Keibra is pivotal for your MSP's success:

Tailored Training Solutions: Address skills gaps and empower your current workforce by upskilling through our apprenticeship programs.

Cost-Effective Skill Enhancement: For MSPs, the UK government covers 100% of the apprenticeship training costs for apprentices aged 16 to 18. However, for other apprentices aged 19 and over, MSPs not paying the apprenticeship levy contribute 5% (approx. £50-60 per month) towards the cost of apprenticeship training, with the UK government covering the remaining 95%.

Enhance job satisfaction, communication, and productivity through career development opportunities, nurturing an environment that values growth. This proactive strategy not only improves job satisfaction but also cultivates high retention rates and draws in top talent to your organisation.

Future-Proof Your Talent: Align with long-term goals, ensuring your team stays agile and aligned with evolving industry demands.

Our team is committed to guiding MSPs on this transformative journey. Whether it's upskilling your current workforce or integrating fresh talent, our comprehensive apprenticeship programs will cater to your specific needs.
