What is the Association of Apprentices?

The Association of Apprentices (AoA) is a not-for-profit social enterprise designed to help you fulfil your potential. By bringing apprentices together, they provide you with the social and professional network that full-time students and employees experience. 

The Association is the place where apprentices from across the UK can unite, network, and develop. It is a community supporting each other to be their best. If you are an apprentice or recently completed an apprenticeship, your membership provides you with access to our exclusive features:

A bespoke social network that lets you connect with like-minded people in your sector or region – gain insight, ask for advice, attend virtual meetups and so much more.

An online learning and development tool to enhance your skills and knowledge so that you can unlock your full potential throughout your apprenticeship and beyond.

Exclusive members-only events, both virtual and in person. These are curated specifically for apprentices, tapping into topics supporting your unique position on the career ladder. Occasionally, we will hold events that are open to the public, so you can invite your colleagues, friends, and family.

Absolutely! The AoA is led by apprentices, so your feedback is key. If you’re a member, send us an email to info@impactfutures.co.uk

If you are a current apprentice or if you have recently completed one of our apprenticeships and you live in the UK, the AoA was made for you! Join a growing community today.

Members gain access to our exclusive events as well as our two key features: AoA Connect and AoA Learn. By accessing these tools your pool of resources will unfold, giving you the opportunity to develop your skills in all areas. The Association provides the foundations, but you create the community. Create a professional network, meet other amazing apprentices, and develop your skills so that you can fulfil your maximum potential.

It’s simple! Complete our short registration form and that’s it. How do our apprentices join?

It’s FREE! As long as you are currently completing an apprenticeship or have completed an apprenticeship, there is no cost involved to join.

If you recently completed an apprenticeship, then of course! As Peter Drucker once said: “Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.”  Using AoA’s resources you are in the perfect position to develop further at your own pace and share what you’ve learned (good and bad!) with our current apprentices. Your experience is the most valuable resource. Although the Association is primarily for apprentices who are currently on programme we’d love to have you in our community.

AoA Connect is the Association’s social networking feature that lets our members meet, ask questions, complete polls, attend events and much more! You can also join groups that particularly interest you. AoA Connect is available both from your desktop or as a mobile app.

No. AoA Connect is only for members of the Association (who have to be UK-based current or recently completed apprentices) who are aged 18+.

Once you’ve registered as a member of the Association, you can access AoA Connect from the members’ area of their website.

AoA Learn is the Association’s online learning feature that gives you access to a huge catalogue of e-learning, assessments and advice to help you develop your skills and knowledge. With everything from self-awareness, resilience and relationships to interview practice and things not to do at work, AoA Learn is your place to learn and grow.

AoA Learn is accessible to members of the Association, either individual apprentices or to one representative from a corporate member (i.e. an employer or training provider) who has registered their apprentices as members.

Once you’ve registered as a member of the Association, you can access AoA Learn from the members’ area of their website.

Events are listed in on the Events page of AoA Connect and on the homepage of their website.

The Council is made up of current and past apprentices, and they guide our work and ensure that everything the Association offers meets the needs of its members.

 If you have any other queries that aren’t covered above, please contact AoA and they’ll come back to you as soon as they can! If you'd like to contact us, you can do that via email on info@impactfutures.co.uk, or by simply filling in the form below.
