Recognising the nation's top apprenticeship employers in 2022
WATCH NOW: The results are in! See the broadcast announcing the 2022 rankings.
The new Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers and Top 50 SME Apprenticeship Employers for 2022 were launched during a special live broadcast on Wednesday 29th June.
The rankings celebrate England's outstanding apprenticeship employers and helps future apprentices, parents and careers advisers to identify apprenticeship opportunities at the country’s leading employers.
First launched in 2020, the 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 rankings weren't produced in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but they're back in 2022, showcasing the apprenticeship employers that have done the most to provide successful apprenticeships over the last 12 months.
And new for 2022, England's top small and medium-sized employers are featured for the first time in the Top 50 SME Apprenticeship Employers.
The rankings recognise employer for their commitment to employing apprentices, their creation of new apprenticeships, the diversity of their new apprentices, and the number of apprentices who complete their apprenticeships and progress further with the employer.
Together, the Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers and Top 50 SME Apprenticeship Employers reveal which employers – large and small – are the country's top apprenticeship employers for 2022.
The launch of the 2022 rankings has been kindly supported by Investors in People, UCAS, University of Nottingham and Manchester Metropolitan University.
