“Commitment to training and supporting the development of young people, so they are motivated to take ownership and responsibility for their careers and they are equipped to progress.”

3. Wider Stakeholder Benefits
Employer
Businesses report an average increase in productivity by £214 a week when they hire apprentices
70% of businesses reported that Apprenticeships improved their productivity or the quality of their product or service
 Apprenticeships offer a great way to recruit and develop talented young people
Economy
Our goal is to secure greater benefits from Apprenticeships for more apprentices, employers and our economy
Apprentices were estimated to contribute £34 billion to the UK economy in 2014
Apprenticeships provide a typical return of £26–£28 for every £1 of government investment in Apprenticeships at levels 2 and 3.
