As part of Million Extra, the National Apprenticeship Service and City & Guilds are celebrating great employers that are committed to helping apprentices shine and grow.

The Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers is a brand new initiative launched to highlight the many businesses achieving great things through apprentices. It's all to help more employers in more industries realise the benefits of offering Apprenticeships, and put both businesses and apprentices in the spotlight.

This is also a rallying call. We want more employers, no matter their size or industry, to follow in the Top 100's footsteps by creating more and better opportunities for apprentices.
