A new scheme has been launched to acknowledge firms that employ apprentices.

The Apprenticeship employers’ badge, supported by the British Chambers of Commerce, highlights a firm’s commitment to apprenticeships and the company’s logos will then appear on the Apprenticeship website.

 Simon Waugh, chief executive of the National Apprenticeship Service, says: “I am pleased to announce the launch of the Apprenticeship badge for employers and businesses. Recent research shows a high majority of consumers prefer businesses who take on apprentices and many would support a register which displays this commitment.

“The badge scheme will demonstrate which businesses support young people through offering Apprenticeships and will provide a service for consumers to choose. The scheme will add to the numerous benefits apprentices bring to a business.”
