National Apprenticeship Week 2025 is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the numerous benefits apprenticeships bring to individuals, employers, and the wider economy. Apprenticeships have evolved significantly, offering a wealth of opportunities that extend beyond traditional pathways. So, in this month’s blog, we are sharing seven things we love about apprenticeships in 2025 and why!
Earn While You Learn
One of the greatest benefits of apprenticeships is the ability to earn a salary while gaining valuable qualifications and work experience. Unlike traditional university routes, apprenticeships provide a debt-free alternative, allowing individuals to build their careers without accumulating hefty student loans.
At Rogo, our fantastic team act as long-term partners for organisations involved in apprenticeships, helping them deliver seamless assessments that support learners on this journey to success.
High Employment Success
Apprenticeships are proven to pave the way for employment success. According to the latest figures, 86% of apprentices report that their apprenticeship helped them secure a job, and 73% state it enabled them to pursue their dream career. These programs are designed to equip individuals with the skills employers need, making apprentices highly sought after in the job market.
Our fantastic team partner with training providers and employers to create efficient, scalable assessment solutions that help measure skills effectively, playing our part in ensuring apprentices are job-ready.
Diverse Age Participation
Apprenticeships aren’t just for school leavers. In fact, nearly half of all apprenticeship starts in in recent years were by individuals aged 25 and over. This shows how apprenticeships appeal to people at different stages of their careers, whether they’re looking to upskill, reskill, or embark on a completely new career journey.
Rogo supports learners of all ages by offering flexible and user-friendly assessment solutions that cater to a diverse range of apprenticeship programs.
Growing Higher-Level Opportunities
Higher-level apprenticeships continue to grow in popularity, offering advanced skills development in areas like engineering, technology, and management. In 2023/24, higher apprenticeship starts increased by 8.2% to 122,230 compared to 112,930 in the same period last year. This reflects the growing recognition of apprenticeships as a viable route to achieving professional qualifications and career progression.
Our expertise in assessment technology helps organisations design and deliver high-quality evaluations, supporting apprentices at every stage, from entry-level to advanced professional qualifications.
Economic Contribution
Apprenticeships play a crucial role in supporting the UK economy. They contribute millions to the UK economy annually, addressing skills shortages and driving economic growth. By investing in apprenticeships, employers not only build their future workforce but also strengthen their industries as a whole!
Rogo is committed to helping organisations maximise the impact of their apprenticeship programs, ensuring assessments are reliable, scalable, and aligned with industry needs.
Employer Satisfaction
It’s not just apprentices who benefit – employers reap significant rewards too. This highlights the mutual value of apprenticeships, with businesses gaining skilled, loyal employees who contribute to their bottom line. Talk about two birds one stone!
At Rogo, we help businesses streamline their assessment processes, saving time and resources while ensuring apprentices are equipped with the skills employers need.
Wide Range of Sectors
From law and finance to engineering and creative industries, apprenticeships span a vast array of sectors. Whether you’re a school leaver exploring your options or a professional looking to upskill, there’s likely an apprenticeship that aligns with your interests and career goals. The diversity of programs ensures there’s something for everyone.
We work with organisations across multiple industries, providing tailored assessment solutions that facilitate the assessment of apprentices across a broad range of sectors.
