The Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers 2020 Live Broadcast - Register Now
Registrations for the live broadcast of The Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers 2020 are now open. You can register to watch at www.topapprenticeshipemployers.co.uk.
The new rankings will be announced at 3pm on Wednesday 21 October, through a special live broadcast and is open to everyone to join. This broadcast will feature a full countdown of the Top 100, presentation of the research and analysis and interviews with employers and apprentices.
The Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers celebrates some of the country’s most outstanding apprenticeship employers and will assist potential apprentices, parents, and careers advisers to identify the best apprenticeship opportunities with the highest performing apprentice employers in England.
These employer rankings will annually rate the Top 100 large apprenticeship employers, and recognise their commitment to employing apprentices, the creation of new apprenticeships, the diversity of their new apprentices, and the progression of their apprentices onto further apprenticeships and employment.
This has been developed in partnership with High Fliers Research, who will independently assess and compile the new national leader board of top apprenticeship employers.
