Employer Apprenticeship Programme Support

This opportunity seeks to expand employer participation in apprenticeship programmes across the North East. The project aims to increase employer awareness of apprenticeship pathways, funding, incentives, and support mechanisms while building confidence in recruiting apprentices. Key objectives include strengthening connections between employers, schools, and apprenticeship providers, and securing a minimum of 25 employer engagements with targeted schools, colleges, and young people through North East Ambition programmes. The successful contractor will deliver monthly monitoring returns, termly review meetings, employer engagement and feedback data, track apprenticeship vacancies created, provide an interim report (January/February 2027), and submit a final impact report (July/August 2027). This project directly supports increased apprenticeship opportunity uptake in the region.
