Early Careers and Apprenticeships Report
Insights for employers to build a successful early talent pipeline
This is the third report in our Project Next Generation series, an in-depth study of how young people make decisions about their futures.
The Early Careers and Apprenticeships report studied over a thousand of 13–17 year-olds who are considering apprenticeships and employment pathways.
The findings will help employers improve their apprenticeships offering and build a successful early talent pipeline.
