Digital Skills Apprenticeship Cost and Benefit Analysis

Overview

The purpose of this survey is to identify the costs and benefits of hiring apprentices within the Digital sector in Northern Ireland. Exploring how businesses and individuals can benefit, identify the barriers preventing support for apprenticeships and encourage greater participation in future.

We would welcome your participation in this survey as part of an evaluation of the value of apprenticeships within the Digital sector.

The survey is anonymous, and no individual can be identified. Some of the data collected maybe used for reports and to identify trends with the Digital Skills sector.

The survey should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete. 

Why your views matter

It is important to hear from both companies that do and do not employ digital apprentices. We want to know the benefits of employing apprentices, but also what could be different or better. 

Companies who do not employ apprentices, why not, what could be done to encourage and support you?

What happens next

Following the conclusion and analysis of the survey, we may wish to follow up with a small number of participants to further discuss our findings and any issues realised. If you would like to be involved, please leave your e-mail address and you may be contacted.

When all analysis is complete, the results will be published.  

The Department would like to thank you for the time spent completing this survey.
