Apprenticeships have changed.

They're available across digital and technology, engineering, healthcare, business, data and many other industries. Young people can earn while they learn, work towards recognised qualifications and gain real experience with an employer.

There are also new government incentives encouraging businesses to recruit young apprentices, including additional support for employers hiring 16–18-year-olds.

So, could an apprenticeship be right for your child?

Join our free online webinar for parents and carers to find out what modern apprenticeships can offer, how the application process works and what you need to know as your child starts thinking about life after school.

Could an apprenticeship be right for your child?

Choosing what comes next after school can feel like a big decision – and apprenticeships are one option that many parents may not know as much about as sixth form, college or university.

Modern apprenticeships allow young people to:
✓ Earn a salary while they learn
✓ Gain recognised qualifications
✓ Build valuable workplace experience
✓ Avoid university tuition fees
✓ Start developing their career from an early age

And with new government funding and incentives encouraging employers to recruit young apprentices, there are even more reasons for families to understand the opportunities available.

We're hosting a free online webinar for parents and carers to explain how apprenticeships work, what employers look for and how you can support your child in exploring their options.

It was great to recently spend some time with the team at Great North Air Ambulance Service. 🚁

GNAAS is one of the organisations we’re proud to support as part of our wider commitment to giving back to the communities around us.

The charity provides a vital service across the North of England, and the visit was a brilliant opportunity to see more of the organisation behind that work and the difference their team makes every day. 👏

A huge thank you to everyone at Great North Air Ambulance Service for welcoming Team Baltic and showing us around.

We’re proud to support such an important organisation and look forward to continuing that relationship.

GCSE and A Level results days bring plenty of conversations about what comes next.

For some young people, that's sixth form, college or university. For others, an apprenticeship could offer the opportunity to gain qualifications, earn a salary and start building valuable workplace experience.

Whether your child is making decisions now or you're looking ahead to the future, understanding the different options available can help you support them when the time comes.

Join our free online webinar for parents and carers, where we'll explain how apprenticeships work, the opportunities available, what employers are looking for and how you can support your child as they explore their future.

A great way to round off another financial year! 🎉

On Friday, we celebrated the end of Q4 in true Baltic style.

We kicked things off with our latest Baltic Exceeds draw, recognising members of our Commercial team who went above and beyond their targets throughout the quarter. 🎯

Then, colleagues from across the UK came together for our annual summer party – Baltic Carnival – with fantastic food, carnival games, stilt walkers, fire performers, a packed dancefloor and plenty of opportunities to celebrate another fantastic year together. 🤹‍♂️🎪

One thing that's always important to us is making sure everyone can be part of moments like these, which is why we covered accommodation for our remote colleagues travelling to join the celebrations.

Congratulations to everyone recognised through Baltic Exceeds, and thank you to every member of Team Baltic for everything you've contributed over the past financial year.

Here's to another great year ahead. 🚀👏

We're proud to have been recognised as one of the Top 50 SME Apprenticeship Employers 2026 by Department for Education, ranking 30th nationally. 👏

What makes this recognition particularly meaningful is that it's based on our approach as an employer of apprentices within our own business.

These are the only government-backed rankings in the UK, and recognise organisations that demonstrate a commitment to high-quality apprenticeship programmes, learner experience and creating opportunities for people to develop their careers.

At Baltic, apprenticeships aren't just what we deliver - they're a key part of how we've built our own teams. Many of our colleagues started their careers with us as apprentices and have gone on to progress across the business.

It's something we're incredibly proud of, and a great reflection of our belief in the value of apprenticeships for learners, employers and the wider workforce.

Thank you to everyone who has helped make this possible! 🎉

Our latest for LBC explores a challenge that doesn’t get enough attention in conversations around early careers.

Getting into work is difficult enough right now. But for many young people who do secure a role, the problem becomes what happens next.

When early-career roles are full of activity but light on progression, it becomes harder to build confidence, retain talent and develop long-term capability.

In the piece, we look at why structured development matters more in a constrained labour market - and why high-quality apprenticeships can offer clearer progression for both employers and learners.

The challenges young people face when trying to enter the workforce are well-documented.

Last night we were at The Apprenticeship Guide Awards, where we were proud to be named Best Employer (Small). 🏆

Judges highlighted our commitment to apprenticeships as part of a wider talent strategy, alongside the proportion of our workforce on programmes and the way we support work-life balance and ongoing skills development.

It’s a great recognition of the environment we’ve worked to build at Baltic – one where people are supported to develop, perform and progress.

This morning was a good example of what that looks like in practice. 👏

We held our quarterly Baltic Exceeds draw, recognising members of our Commercial team who have gone beyond their targets and delivered strong results, with a record number of entries. Our resident Master of Ceremonies, Tony Hobbs, was on hand to dish out holiday vouchers to winners from across the sales floor.

Congratulations to all of our Q3 winners – time to dust off those passports. 🎉

A big thank you to everyone across the business who contributes to the culture that made last night possible.

Introducing: AI at Every Level.

Our new centralised space for all things AI is now live. 💻🎉

This is the starting point for a major expansion of our AI offer – with more details being added very soon.

It brings everything together in one place: our AI-enhanced apprenticeships, the AI Accelerator modules that are built in to every routeway – and the exciting new set of AI programmes that are on the way. 👀

This is just a first look at what’s coming, with more being added over the coming weeks:
✔️ how AI capability can be developed across teams
✔️ what different roles need to get started
✔️ how to move from early adoption to something more structured

This is where it starts! 👏
