Fix the “Pipeline Issue”

Taking on apprentices instead of relying on graduates and industry veterans opens doors for new talent from underrepresented backgrounds. Apprenticeships are a great way to show your commitment to Equity, Diversity & Inclusion in the games sector.

Be an industry pioneer

While many sectors like Film & IT have grown their apprenticeship numbers drastically over the last few years, the games sector still offers a lot of space for growth. This is your chance to make history and have an impact on the development of new opportunities and standards.

Save money

Instead of more L&D investments, you could use government funding to upskill your employees and new-hires through apprenticeships.

Plus: If your company is relatively large (150+ employees), you likely pay an apprenticeship levy already – which you will lose, if you aren’t spending it on apprenticeships.

Shape the perfect match

Apprenticeships are a partnership between employees, employers and training providers – you work out what your business needs and help shape the skill set and training accordingly.

At the end of the programme, your apprentice is THE perfect match for the role.

Increase retention and loyalty

Various studies on apprenticeships have shown that apprenticeships increase retention and staff loyalty. Apprentices are often driven, have a strong sense of loyalty and confidence in their abilities thanks to the guidance of the company.

Upskill internal talent

Apprenticeships aren’t only here to bring in new talent from the outside, they also offer a way to reward and train up the fantastic people you already work with, while letting them stay in the job! Whether you have someone who would like to gather additional education levels or swap to a new role internally – apprenticeships offer an elegant solution.
