The 5% Club is focused on creating momentum behind the recruitment of apprentices and graduates into the workforce, as well as making optimal use workplace learning schemes to maximise the potential within existing employees. Our members consist of public and private companies in the UK who want to make a difference and support the UK’s ability to compete in increasingly tough global markets. The 5% Club members strive to achieve at least 5% of their workforce on apprenticeships, as sponsored students and/or graduates on formalised training schemes within five years of joining - most easily exceed this ambition. Today our 700+ Members represent over 1,600,000 employees, of whom circa 93,000 are engaged in "earn & learn" workplace learning schemes.
