Employers: What are the Benefits of the Business Analyst Apprenticeship?

Most employers only pay 5% of the total costs of an apprenticeship for new starters, and there are plenty of incentives for training with apprenticeships. Aside from the low costs associated with this form of staff training, there are numerous other benefits for businesses!

Cut Inefficiencies From Your Budget

Conducting a thorough review and creating an analysis of your business based on data will enable you to find not only the key areas of improvement in your business, but also the small, micro-improvements you can make that may not be as obvious. Using data enables you to target your budget and efforts towards the "quick-wins" and create smart strategies to target the larger, overall processes that require improvement.

Identify Opportunities For Improvement and Growth

You hired leaders within your business for the value of their opinions and innovative ideas, but working purely on the basis of speculation isn't always going to reap rewards. Combine your expert's knowledge with data and you'll be able to make growth-led decisions that entail less risk and more reward!

Save Time Through Better Processes So You Can Allocate More Resources To New Projects

There are a multitude of reasons why errors and inefficiencies escape your notice within a business, and it's not through a lack of trying to identify them. Understanding the data across your business can help you to create clear, concise reports that enable you to identify opportunities to reallocate resources and finances more effectively. You'll be able to rapidly note where process improvement is required and implement new practices.
