Our membership helps you to:
- Attract more young talent by getting recognised as an employer of choice with our national accreditation
- Raise your profile within local schools & colleges via our Engineering Careers Platform
- Retain more apprentices by following proven employer best practice methods in your apprenticeship scheme
“To know that your employer cares as much about your apprenticeship experience as you do, I find very reassuring. For someone leaving school or college, knowing your employer has received this accreditation means you can trust that you are going into your career with an employer that will deliver on what you are promised”
Jacob Church, Engineering Apprentice, Teledyne E2V
