Apprenticeship Facts

The case for apprenticeships

Apprenticeships deliver measurable returns for employers. Here is what the evidence shows.

  • £28 returned for every £1 invested

    Level 3 apprenticeships deliver an average return of £28 for every pound invested, through increased productivity, lower recruitment costs and stronger retention. The business case is well established. Government research consistently backs it.

  • APPRENTICES CONTRIBUTE FROM DAY ONE

    Your apprentice works inside your business throughout the programme: real briefs, real tasks, real output. Most employers see a return within the first three months. By the end of year one, they are a trained, embedded member of your team at a fraction of the cost of an experienced hire.

  • UP TO 100% FUNDED

    Levy-paying employers use their digital account. Many non-levy employers pay nothing at all. Vocate regularly sources levy transfers to cover the full cost. Contact us to find out what you're eligible for.

  • APPRENTICES STAY LONGER THAN GRADUATES

    ISE employer research shows apprentices are retained at a higher rate than graduates at every time horizon. After three years, 77% of apprentices remain with the same employer versus 70% of graduates. After five years, the gap widens further. Apprenticeships build loyalty that typical graduate hiring doesn't.

Build capability from within. Fund it through the levy.

Every apprentice works in your business from day one. We handle recruitment, levy paperwork and all training. You get someone contributing from the start.
