Six recruitment marketing strategies to boost take-up of apprenticeships

Project Next Generation: How to engage and inspire Gen Z to attract the best new talent

The next generation want more from their professional lives – so how can employers engage with their values?

Creating diversity in the insurance industry workforce through apprenticeships

Insurance affects almost every area of our society, from domestic to business, yet research shows that women and ethnic minorities are underrepresented in the industry.

Feedback from our customers

Having access to a pool of over a million students is amazing in any sort of recruitment situation. But then to know that over half of them, or around half of them, are interested in apprenticeships is also great. I think it's quite difficult to find that many people, in one place, that are all interested in apprenticeships - so it's a great opportunity for us."

Liam Bradshaw-Shallow, Early Careers Attraction Coordinator, Sky

UCAS's marketing campaigns have been a game changer for us! Three months in and the digital media campaigns, especially on social media in our targeted cities, have shown impressive success rates. We're seeing click-through rates of 8-10%, a number we're genuinely proud of.
