National Apprenticeship Week is the perfect time to celebrate the impact apprenticeships can have, not just on businesses, but on the individuals completing them. Apprenticeships with Workpays support people to develop practical skills, gain confidence in their roles, and progress their careers while working.
Rather than generic training, apprenticeships with Workpays focus on real workplace application and personalised support. But don’t just take our word for it, here’s what apprentices say about training with Workpays.
Personalised Support Makes All the Difference
One of the things apprentices value most about apprenticeships with Workpays is the level of support they receive from their tutors.
Anthony Mason, a Level 5 Operations Manager apprentice, shares his experience:
“Personally, I couldn’t have had a better tutor. Joyce was patient, informative, and nothing was ever too much. Even when I lost three months of work due to a laptop issue, she reassured me, got me back on track, and kept me progressing.”
This kind of tailored guidance is what sets Workpays apart. Apprentices feel seen, supported, and confident in their learning journey, whether they are developing management skills or completing their first qualifications.
Learning at Work, Without Extra Stress
A key benefit of apprenticeships with Workpays is that learning is built into the working week. Apprentices can develop new skills without sacrificing evenings or weekends.
“As a team manager, it was easy to fit in the 20% off-the-job hours. Even when I moved up to operations manager, it was challenging but manageable, and way better than trying to fit learning around evenings and weekends.” — Anthony Mason
This approach allows apprentices to learn while earning and apply new knowledge directly in their role.
Real Career Progression and Outcomes
Apprenticeships with Workpays are focused on progression, not just completion.
Anthony explains how his apprenticeship supported his next career step:
“I applied for a promotion to Operations Manager and was successful. The skills I learned on the apprenticeship, especially in leadership and operational management, helped me stand out in the interview and perform on the job from day one.”
For others, Path 2 Apprenticeships provide a different starting point.
Sam Hutchings reflects on their experience:
“I didn’t think it would do anything for me at first. I’d tried apprenticeships before and always got overlooked. But Path 2 Apprenticeships made me feel seen for the first time.”
While apprenticeships support those already in employment, Path 2 Apprenticeships help individuals build confidence and readiness before progressing onto an apprenticeship.
Learning Beyond Qualifications
Apprenticeships with Workpays focus on practical, transferable skills that can be used immediately in the workplace. From operational management to project planning, apprentices develop skills in leadership, communication, data analysis, and team management.
Where additional support is needed, such as resitting GCSE English or Maths, apprentices receive the guidance and resources required to succeed.
