Launch of New Rankings

The Sunday Times Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers for 2026 will be launched at 2pm on Thursday 11th June, during a specially-produced TV programme celebrating the country's leading apprenticeship employers.

The 90-minute programme will include a full countdown of the new rankings, analysis of the nation's top apprenticeship employers, apprenticeship showcases and special guests.

It will be hosted by Martin Birchall, High Fliers Research and Chanise Evans, a former apprentice at the BBC.

The new rankings will then be featured by The Sunday Times in a 16-page supplement and online during the weekend of 12th-14th June.

So whether you're an apprenticeship manager, a recruiter, current or future apprentice, a training provider or careers adviser – be the first to hear which employers are featured in this year's new rankings and find out what it takes to become one of the UK's outstanding apprenticeship employers.

The 2026 rankings are sponsored by BPP and are produced in partnership with the Association of Apprentices, Association of Employment and Learning Providers (AELP), The Careers & Enterprise Company and The 5% Club.
