Apprenticeships
UKWA provides information and advice for members throughout the process of planning and delivering apprenticeships, including support on accessing funding.
UKWA has been working closely with the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) and the logistics sector on the development of the new Trailblazers’ industry-led apprenticeship standards; together with our membership, we have a real opportunity as the Voice of the UK Logistics Industry to shape this programme for our sector and decide what the standards should be.
Apprenticeships help businesses to develop a motivated, skilled and qualified workforce and bring many business benefits – including improved skills levels, service, morale and productivity.
Across the employment sector, growing numbers of companies are employing apprentices, with 96% of businesses reporting benefits from their apprentices and 89% reporting that apprenticeships have helped their business improve the quality of their product or service.
