INTRODUCING

THE heald APPRENTICESHIP HUB: INCLUSION & RETENTION
COMMUNITY

Build apprenticeships that actually work for your organisation and your people.

About transformation

It’s not the big mistakes that break apprenticeships. 
It’s the small habits no one spots until it’s too late.
THAT'S  WHERE THE APPRENTICESHIP HUB COMES IN 

“The training shifted our whole perspective. We now understand what apprentices really need—and how to give it to them.”

the question is, can you spot them?

It’s rarely the big FAILURES THAT BREAK APPRENTICESHIPS.

It’s the everyday habits no one thinks to challenge: the missed check-ins, the throwaway remarks, the unconscious bias, the lost chances to support and grow talent.

Ready to change the story?

The Apprenticeship Hub gives you the tools, community, and live support to spot these issues early, and fix them.


This isn’t a box-ticking exercise. It’s an ongoing space where employers, providers, and apprentices work together to build workplaces where apprentices stay, succeed, and thrive.

SEE IT IN ACTION

APPRENTICES AREN’T DROPPING OUT BECAUSE THEY’RE NOT CAPABLE.

They’re dropping out because the system isn’t set up to support them.

I spent 20 years working in schools and further education. Again and again, I saw talented young people lose confidence and employers lose thousands, not because of ability, but because the right structures weren’t there.

👉 That’s why I created the Apprenticeship Hub.

Watch this short video to hear my story and why I believe we need to change apprenticeships for good.

Why the Apprenticeship Hub Matters

  • A well-meaning “they’ll figure it out” leaves an apprentice floundering.

  • A new idea is dismissed with “that’s not how we do things here.”

  • A request for support is met with “everyone goes through this.”

Support isn’t broken by one big failure. It’s eroded by silence.

  • 1 in 3 apprentices drop out due to poor support

  • £30,000+ cost per failed apprenticeship

  • Most of these losses are preventable with the right tools and support.

These are not “small” moments. They’re the cracks where apprentices fall through.

A QUICK LOOK INSIDE

SEE HOW SMALL SHIFTS TRANSFORM APPRENTICESHIP SUPPORT

Struggling apprentices don’t always raise their hand. They nod along, say “yeah, that’s fine” while actually feeling lost and falling behind.

Inside the Apprenticeship Hub, you’ll get training that helps you spot these signals early and respond in ways that build confidence, belonging, and retention.

Here’s a clip from one of our training sessions, giving you a taste of the kind of practical, real-world training you’ll find inside the Hub.

👉 For just $15/month, you’ll unlock ongoing access to sessions like this, plus a growing resource library and community of employers and providers.

The REAL Cost of Doing Nothing

Ignoring weak apprenticeship support doesn’t make the problem disappear—it makes it more expensive and harder to fix.

  • Drop-out rates climb

  • Training investment is wasted

  • Future talent pipelines collapse

 

The Apprenticeship Hub is a small investment compared to losing apprentices, writing off tens of thousands in funding, or watching your future workforce walk away.
