Why Choose JGA
JGA’s approach involves a monthly full-day or twice-monthly half-day roundtable/seminar, delivered live to small groups, supplemented by expert coaching and pastoral support. Remote teaching (via Teams) enables us to offer high-quality apprenticeships on a national basis. In-person sessions are available when necessary.
The apprenticeships are well-invested and purpose-designed. They incorporate hot topics such as ethics, data insights, digital, artificial intelligence, and sustainability. We regularly revisit the curriculum to improve and develop the courses.
We work hard to support line managers and apprentices. There is a line manager handbook and induction (if you’re inexperienced with apprenticeships, check out our employer guidance on the finer points), an in-house helpdesk (run by an ex-apprentice), an online Learner Zone (containing all the information the apprentice needs, including discounts on shops and transport), experienced Learner Progress Advisers who identify and work to remove barriers to completion and progression, and optional apprentice and alumni face-to-face events and webinars led by external experts.
Our apprenticeships work for graduates, school leavers and new recruits, upskilling employees, the young and more mature, as well as juniors and managers.
“The support and guidance I have been provided by JGA…has been outstanding. Initially when starting I was a very shy and anxious and I struggled hugely with my self-esteem and confidence. My coaches and tutor were able to instantly understand this and created a safe and supportive environment. We were able to discuss options that would help me to comfortably start to explore my hidden strengths and everything was done at my pace.
The online seminars were interactive, fun, and engaging… The content was fresh and interesting…very effective in consolidating learning and building relationships… I cannot thank JGA enough for this amazing opportunity. You have all changed my life for the better.”
