Apprenticeships for the Public Sector

We help public sector organisations build capability through apprenticeships that are practical, high quality and designed around real roles. From central and local government to NHS organisations, police forces, ambulance services, fire and rescue services and other public bodies, we support teams to strengthen communication, shape policy, improve services and develop talent from within.

Our achievement rates are well above the national average and nearly two-thirds of completions are graded distinction.

Public sector expertise

As the communications apprenticeship provider to the Government Communication Service and a recommended supplier for Policy Officer training across central government, we understand the standards, scrutiny and pace public bodies work within.

Capability in action

Our programmes build practical expertise in engagement, policy, governance, service design and systems thinking. Learners apply new skills in real roles, helping teams tackle priorities, improve practice and build stronger capability from within.

Learning with impact

Strong achievement rates are only part of the story. What matters is what changes at work: clearer communication, better decisions, more confident professionals and learning that delivers value long after the programme ends.

Delivery model

JGA’s approach involves regular full-day or half-day seminars delivered live online to small groups, supplemented by round tables, expert coaching and pastoral support. Our team comprises skilled professionals in their fields who often continue to work within their specialism.

We work closely with line managers to support the planning and organisation of in-work aspects of apprenticeships, ensuring that the impact is high.

Starting the apprenticeship has been one of the most fulfilling personal development decisions I have ever made. It has opened doors that previously, I would not have had the confidence to knock on, let alone open. It has been a game-changer for me, and I cannot recommend this apprenticeship highly enough.
