We are delighted to announce that Ginger Nut Training has become a member of The 5% Club, joining a growing movement of employers committed to creating meaningful opportunities through apprenticeships, graduate programmes, sponsored student placements, and other earn-and-learn routes.
What is The 5% Club?
The 5% Club is a dynamic network of employers dedicated to building the UK’s future workforce by investing in skills and talent development. Members commit to ensuring that at least 5% of their workforce are in earn-and-learn positions, helping create sustainable career pathways and tackling skills shortages across the economy.
The initiative brings together organisations of all sizes and sectors that share a common belief: investing in people is essential for long-term success.
Why We Joined
At Ginger Nut Training, apprenticeships are at the heart of what we do.
For more than a decade, we have worked with employers and learners across England to demonstrate the value of high-quality apprenticeship programmes. We have seen first-hand the impact that apprenticeships can have on career progression, social mobility, productivity, and workforce development.
Joining The 5% Club reflects our ongoing commitment not only to supporting apprentices through our training provision, but also to investing in talent within our own organisation.
We firmly believe that organisations should lead by example. By developing our own apprentices and providing opportunities for individuals to learn and progress within the workplace, we are helping to build the skills needed for the future.
Investing in Future Talent
Our commitment to developing people can be seen across many areas of the business.
Through apprenticeships, learners gain:
- Industry-relevant skills
- Practical workplace experience
- Professional confidence
- Nationally recognised qualifications
- Long-term career opportunities
For employers, apprenticeships provide a powerful way to:
- Develop existing staff
- Build future talent pipelines
- Address skills gaps
- Improve retention and progression
- Support organisational growth
These principles align closely with the mission of The 5% Club and the wider goal of creating a stronger, more skilled workforce.
Supporting Employers Across England
As a specialist apprenticeship training provider, we work with employers of all sizes, from SMEs to national organisations, helping them understand how apprenticeships can support their growth ambitions.
Whether an organisation is recruiting new talent or developing existing employees, apprenticeships continue to be one of the most effective ways to invest in people and future-proof the workforce.
Looking Ahead
Joining The 5% Club is another important milestone in our journey and reinforces our commitment to skills, opportunity, and workforce development.
We are proud to stand alongside other employers who recognise the value of investing in people and creating meaningful pathways into employment and progression.
Together, we can help ensure that more individuals have access to the skills, experience, and opportunities needed to succeed.
