Academic research consistently demonstrates that developing employees’ capabilities drives productivity and performance (Becker, 1964; Garavan et al., 2020).
By fostering up-to-date marketing skills through structured learning, apprenticeships enable teams to better understand consumer behaviours, devise data-driven strategies, and strengthen brand positioning for sustainable competitive advantage (Vorhies & Morgan, 2005; Clardy, 2008). Moreover, equipping staff with the latest industry best practices encourages innovation, responsiveness, and long-term success in an evolving marketplace (Aparecido et al., 2017).
In essence, investing in apprenticeships empowers employers to harness their human capital, yielding measurable returns in market engagement, customer satisfaction, and overall organisational performance.
