Apprenticeships Work is a new campaign with a simple goal: to encourage more small businesses to take on apprentices.

SMEs are the backbone of our economy and our communities, but often struggle to engage with the apprenticeship system. They represent 99.8% of businesses and 60% of total employment in the UK, but only employ 37% of apprentices.

We know that young people’s interest in apprenticeships is growing. At the same time, employers are facing immense skills challenges that limit growth and opportunity.

Unlock the full potential of your future workforce—and start hiring apprentices who bring fresh energy, skills, and innovation to your business.
