The list, compiled with careers site Higherin, includes 150 businesses that have delivered high‑quality apprenticeships. BAE Systems, along with Network Rail and Lloyds Banking Group, is highlighted for powering the next generation of skilled workers. The government announced a plan to create 50,000 new apprenticeships for young people to reverse a 40% decline in 16‑24‑year‑old starts. The top SME apprenticeship employer is LJ Construction Carpentry Contractors Ltd. The rankings assess apprentice achievements, employer commitment and apprentice reviews.
