However you do it, you have to make it objective. So you need to set 
goals and parameters at the outset that are clear and unambiguous.

You quite possibly open yourself up to various legal challenges if you 
can let someone go at the end of the period 'just because', even if 
you've made it clear that it's a fixed term contract.

To do apprenticeship/articles properly requires considerable investment 
in time, money and, most importantly, commitment at all levels of the 
company.

If you're just looking at it as a way of getting cheaper staff, you'll 
find people see right through it.

(Not that I think you are doing that but that might be in the impression 
that candidates get)
