The 5% Club welcomes employers from all sectors and all sizes of business and their entry level membership is free and open to any organisation committed to the ‘ethos’ of earn and learn.
The 5% Club offers two levels of membership:
Entry level, free at point of entry.
Enhanced Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze membership – awarded on an annual basis via our Employer Audit accreditation programme.
“The employer audit gave us the opportunity to review and reflect on best practice and prompted a few changes in approach, such as closer attention to upskilling apprentices as well as new entrants.”
