Apprenticeships: The smart way to build a skilled, motivated workforce

When it comes to growing your business, investing in your people is one of the most effective strategies you can take. Apprenticeships offer a proven way to boost your team’s capabilities while improving employee retention, satisfaction, and long-term business success — all while making the most of government funding.

Funding: Maximise Your Budget

Depending on your organisation’s size and payroll, either 100% or 95% of the costs are covered:

• Levy payers (annual payroll over £3 million): 100% of the costs are covered by the funds in your Levy pot.
• Non-Levy payers (annual payroll under £3 million): 95% of the costs are Government funded.  With the help of our partners we can fund the remaining 5% (terms and conditions apply).

That means your business can access apprenticeship training with little to no cost — making it one of the most cost-effective ways to upskill your team.

Training: Built Around Your Business Needs

Apprentices learn while they work — with 80% of the training delivered on-the-job and 20% off-the-job. This approach ensures they gain real-world skills and knowledge that benefit your organisation directly.
Apprentices will be supported to:

• Learn essential knowledge, skills, and behaviours
• Apply their learning immediately in their day-to-day role
• Grow with guidance from experienced team members
