What results do Makers programmes deliver for employers?

Organisations partner with Makers to build technical capability and develop teams that can adapt as technology evolves.

Our programmes focus not only on technical skills but on developing Learning Quotient (LQ) — the ability to learn, unlearn and apply new skills as technologies change.

This helps teams stay effective as tools, platforms and ways of working evolve.

Strong outcomes for learners and employers

Makers programmes consistently deliver strong outcomes compared to industry averages.

Recent results include:

• 84% apprenticeship achievement rate, compared to an industry average of 59%

• 80% of apprentices achieving a Merit or Distinction

• 90% of apprentices promoted after completing their apprenticeship

These results reflect the combination of immersive learning, coaching support and real-world application throughout the programme.

Immediate contribution in the workplace

Because learning is closely connected to real work, many learners begin contributing quickly within their teams.

Employers often see apprentices:

• contributing to projects early in the programme

• developing practical engineering skills alongside their teams

• progressing into more senior roles as their experience grows

This approach helps organisations build capability while continuing to deliver business outcomes.

Long-term workforce development

Many organisations use Makers programmes to:

• reskill employees into technical roles

• build internal engineering, data or AI capability

• develop future technical leaders

• retain and grow high-potential talent

This allows businesses to strengthen their teams while preparing for the ongoing impact of AI and digital transformation.
