Apprenticeship toolkit for employers

This toolkit has been designed to help employers in the construction and infrastructure (C&I) sector make their apprenticeships more enjoyable, cost-effective, less risky – and therefore generate a sustainable return for their businesses, faster. Applying the toolkit will enable employers to better engage, equip and develop their apprentices, ultimately enabling businesses to realise a quicker return on their investment.

It takes the best practices that employers used to achieve the outcomes for each stage and sets them out in a way that any employer could apply them in their own business. <

  • The tools in this toolkit were tested with employers and apprentices to ensure that they are valuable and practical.
  • Crucially, none of these tools require you to make an up-front investment before trying them. You can give any of them a go, see for yourself whether they work for your business, and then decide whether you want to keep using them.
  • Behind the scenes, Allen + Clarke also developed and applied a Theory of Change and mechanisms of change to select what tools would be developed. 

In summary, the toolkit helps make training apprentices more productive, profitable, and sustainable.
