The Ladder initiative continues to champion apprenticeships as a practical solution for employers.
Justine Johnson, Ladder manager for the Ladder Foundation, said: “Apprenticeships are an investment in your business and in the local economy.
“By creating opportunities for young people and existing staff, employers can build a skilled, loyal workforce that drives growth.
“Now is the perfect time to get involved. Taking on an apprentice comes with plenty of exciting benefits for businesses and can help them to fill skill gaps.
Offer flexibility
“Apprenticeships are not only for new employees. They are ideal for upskilling existing staff, too.”
With programmes ranging from Level 2 (GCSE equivalent) to Level 7 (Master’s degree) apprenticeships offer flexibility to meet the needs of businesses across all sectors.
They provide a cost-effective way to develop talent, supported by government funding and incentives, while boosting productivity and innovation.
They can also foster loyalty by offering existing staff chance to upskill.
