And the winners are… Best in Class of The 5% Club UK National Employer “Earn & Learn” Awards

The 5% Club has awarded 180 enhanced Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum Memberships, in recognition of the commitment and measured inspired action of those members completing the 2023 Employer Audit.

Minister for Skills, Apprenticeships and Higher Education Robert Halfon said: 

“It is impressive to see so many employers recognised by the 5% Club’s Employer Audit scheme. These are great businesses investing in future talent and extending the ladder of opportunity to more and more people by enabling them to earn and learn at the same time.

“I commend all The Club’s Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze members for their inspired action, which is so essential to our national prosperity, giving businesses the skills they need to grow and offering people the opportunity to get in-demand skills and thrive.”
