In honour of National Apprenticeship Week, BPIF Training have launched a new guide

BPIF Training has announced the launch of its new Employer’s Guide to Understanding Apprenticeships 2026, released to coincide with National Apprenticeship Week.

The guide gives employers an overview of how apprenticeships work, the benefits they bring, and the support available throughout the apprenticeship journey.

Designed for both those new to apprenticeships and those looking to develop existing staff, the guide brings together essential information on apprenticeship levels, funding, recruitment, onboarding and progression.

It also includes detailed support on off-the-job training, mental health, performance management and understanding English and maths requirements.

The guide aims to help organisations make informed decisions, strengthen skills pipelines and support long-term workforce development across the printing, packaging and graphic communications industries.
