Keep more apprentices to the finish.
Apprentices rarely leave because the trade is too hard — they leave when confidence, money worries or life get in the way. Fledglings builds the life skills and resilience behind better retention, keeping learners engaged all the way to achievement.
Retention is a people problem, not a trade problem.
The reasons apprentices leave are rarely about the technical work. They're about confidence, money and feeling out of place — exactly what a life-skills curriculum is built to address.
Feeling out of their depth
Early wobbles and imposter feelings push learners out before they find their feet. Resilience content helps them push through the first hard months.
Financial pressure
Managing an apprentice wage, rent and bills is a common reason to quit for a better-paid job. Financial literacy eases that pressure.
Not feeling ready for work
Struggling with workplace norms and communication makes learners disengage. Employability skills help them feel they fit.
Engagement that lasts the programme.
Sustained engagement is the leading indicator of completion. Fledglings keeps learners active between reviews — and gives you the data to spot who's drifting before they go.
Four curricula that keep learners in.
Designed for the 16–24 demographic, written by people from it.
Confidence & Resilience
Emotional regulation, growth mindset, handling setbacks and everyday wellbeing.
Financial Literacy
Budgeting, payslips and tax, banking, credit, renting and money at work.
Employability Skills
CVs, interview preparation, workplace communication, professional behaviour and progression.
Online Safety
Digital footprint, privacy, scams and fraud, misinformation and safe online behaviour.
We build the confidence and life skills behind retention — we complement your coaches and reviews, we don't replace them.
From first call to higher completion.
