The Department of Education is recognising the nation’s top apprenticeship employers again this year!

First compiled in 2020, the Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers and Top 50 SME Apprenticeship Employers are back in 2024 to showcase the apprenticeship employers that have done the most to provide apprenticeship opportunities over the past 12 months.

The prestigious annual employer rankings have been developed by the Department of Education, in partnership with High Fliers Research, who independently assess and rank the nation’s top apprenticeship employers.

The Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers celebrates outstanding apprenticeship employers, recognising their commitment to creating new apprenticeships, the diversity of their apprentices, and the number of apprentices who successfully achieve their apprenticeships.

And the Top 50 SME Apprenticeship Employers features the country’s leading small and medium-sized employers who offer apprenticeship programmes.

Over the past three years, more than 1,000 apprenticeship employers from a wide range of industries and business sectors have entered for the rankings.

The deadline for entries is 5pm on Friday 12th April and the results will be announced this summer.  Successful apprenticeship employers featured in the new 2024 rankings will be invited to attend a celebration lunch at the House of Commons in the autumn.  You can place you entry at https://topapprenticeshipemployers.co.uk/cms-v2/enter.  Best of luck!
