Exploring models for part-time and flexible apprenticeships

This report from Young Women’s Trust, Trust for London, Timewise and Learning and Work Institute investigates the feasibility and scalability of part-time and flexible models of apprenticeships.

It is based on research conducted by Learning and Work Institute and Timewise with learners and employees with commitments that make the traditional full-time model untenable, and with employers, training providers, and other key stakeholders.

The findings suggest that part-time and flexible apprenticeship opportunities can be effective ways of both increasing access for new starters to apprenticeships and enabling existing staff to upskill. This will widen the talent pool for employers and has the potential to increase
productivity.
