SURVEYS & REPORTS
Surveying apprentices gives us unique insights which are used to inform our work.
Our surveys ensure that apprentices are represented and have a platform to share their views.
After our surveys we:
-
analyse the data;
-
write short reports;
-
run campaigns;
-
and work with influential figures to create policy change.
