Eight North East organisations have been recognised by the Government for their outstanding commitment to apprenticeships.
League tables have been published highlighting Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers and Top 50 Small and Medium Employers (SMEs). The league tables showcase the very best apprenticeship programmes over the past 12 months.
Employers are ranked not just on the number of apprentices they take on, but for their commitment to diversity, their creation of new apprenticeships, the progression of their apprentices onto further apprenticeships and employment. The Department for Education said the firms’ dedication to delivering high-quality apprenticeships plays a crucial role in boosting the skills and career opportunities of people from all backgrounds, while plugging skills gaps and helping the economy to grow.
