K10 Apprenticeships Limited

K10 Apprenticeships Limited was founded in 2010 to address the declining number of apprentices working in the construction sector and the difficulties contractors faced when committed to delivering effective apprenticeship programmes. Working in collaboration with government, local authorities, developers, contractors, sub-contractors, training providers and 3rd sector organisations, K10 is a London wide construction skills network. We have developed an innovative apprenticeship model in which we take on apprentices, and then connect them into construction supply chains. We recognise the short term nature of contracts on site and when the contractor has no more work for the trainee, apprentices are released back to K10 and we place them on another site with a different host contractor. K10 takes full responsibility for the individuals’ apprenticeship and all associated contractual obligations. K10 is an Apprenticeship Training Agency (ATA), accredited by the National Apprenticeship Service (NAS) and supports the delivery of a high quality apprenticeship programme. It is independent of any contractor or developer. Our status as an award winning market leader has been established through successful delivery on a number of high profile projects in partnership with the leading developers and contractors in the country. Our expertise is in the planning, strategy and delivery of employment and skills strategies. We are very committed to the social impact we are able to have as an organisation and we track the journey of our apprentices carefully (70% are 18-24). Our goal is to ensure our apprentices qualify into a trade and then are placed into long-term employment. We were delighted to win the Big Venture Challenge in 2011, a competition run by the National Lottery to support businesses delivering social impact at scale. We are also proud to be a Deloitte Social Innovation Pioneer.
