Build skills
and future careers
Enable Futures supports apprentices and employers through flexible apprenticeship pathways, building skills for real working environments.
Enable Futures: Flexible Apprenticeships That Work
Connecting employers and apprentices through a supported, flexible approach to workforce development.
Finding the right apprenticeship solution can be complex.
Projects change, roles evolve, and long term employment is not always immediately available. Employers often need flexibility without losing access to skilled, motivated talent.
Enable Futures employs and supports apprentices directly, managing employment, training coordination, and pastoral support, so employers can focus on delivery while apprentices build skills, confidence, and sustainable careers.
Enable Futures: Supporting Apprentices to Succeed
Removing barriers and creating clear pathways into skilled careers
- Limited Access: Many individuals struggle to secure apprenticeship opportunities that offer real on-site experience and long-term progression.
- Unclear Pathways: Navigating training requirements, employment expectations, and workplace standards can be confusing without structured support.
- Confidence Gaps: Entering the workplace for the first time can be challenging without mentoring, guidance, and pastoral support.
Enable Futures provides structured support, employing apprentices directly and guiding them through training, placements, and personal development. This approach helps individuals build skills, confidence, and sustainable careers while gaining meaningful experience across the built environment.

Real Stories, Real Success
Callum Whitehouse
Specialist Services Manager, Berneslai Homes
We took on six displaced apprentices at once. Enable Futures tailored each apprenticeship so they could continue where they left off and still complete it in the same timeframe.
Alison Ringrose
BDM, Alan Wood & Partners
Trying to find people with the right skills in this industry is quite difficult, so if we grow our own through Enable Futures, as it were, we teach them as we want them to be taught and train them up in the ways that the business needs to be able to grow.
Matthew
Site Manager at Caddick Construction
The apprentices are bringing a lot to this project and to the construction industry as a whole. There's a real need for young people to come into the industry, and it's great to see them progressing.
Alan Mitton
Commercial Manager, Aspect Contracts Ltd
What was initially a six-month trial, led onto an 18 month partnership and a full time role for Cara within group. This has now moved onto a wider partnership with us and Enable Futures to recruit for a further 2 apprentices.
Mick Keebles
Contract Manager, GRK Civils
The real value of working with Enable Futures is that they do all the leg work involved with finding, hiring and managing our apprentices. We work on sites at lots of different locations throughout the year, and ENF will always make sure the apprentices are able to start as soon as possible on those different sites. I consider ENF as a key part of the team.
Enable Futures FAQ's
Answers to common questions about pricing and products
Our service is simple, flexible and easy to access. We take the risk and work out of you employing an apprentice directly, allowing you to concentrate on your business. We source the training and the funding required and manage a rigorous recruitment process from start to finish, employing the apprentice ourselves, saving you both time and money.
When an Enable Futures apprentice is on your project, you and the apprentice are guaranteed our full support for the duration of the placement and beyond.
For many, an apprenticeship is likely to be their first full-time job. A young person needs a period of adjustment to get used to the differences between education and the workplace, and our Apprenticeship Managers are experts at helping apprentices make the transition. Let us employ, manage and support your apprentices for you.
We provide pastoral guidance on issues outside of the workplace, academic collaboration with colleges to ensure successful completion, and reliable in-work support for both the apprentice and the host. An Enable Futures managed apprentice allows you to get on with what you do best.
We can provide suitable candidates at all apprenticeship levels, starting at Level 2, through to Degree level. We will consider any type of position within Construction and the built environment, agriculture and environmental, and engineering and manufacturing including supporting roles such as administration, procurement, marketing, IT and many more.
Host Employers are charged a weekly fee for all apprentice hours worked on site and at college. Included in this fee is a contribution towards initial recruitment costs, a CSCS card & basic PPE, the apprentice pay and travel allowance, plus ongoing apprentice management, HR and payroll.
