The 5% Club Employer Audit 2026

It’s time to take part in The 5% Club’s annual Employer Audit and achieve accredited Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze membership of the Club for 2026-2027.

The Employer Audit recognises our members’ success, as they work towards and surpass the target that 5% of their workforce should be in ‘earn and learn’ workplace roles, such as apprenticeships or graduate development schemes.

In addition to a trusted accreditation, employers participating in the Employer Audit receive a comprehensive research report, benchmarking their ‘earn and learn’ employment with other Club members, and exclusive invitations for The 5% Club Skills Summit – our flagship one-day employer conference.

The deadline for taking part in this year’s Employer Audit is Friday 31st July.
