An effective procurement and supply chain function can be the difference between profit and loss. Yet many organisations still struggle to recruit and retain skilled professionals in this vital area.
Apprenticeships in Procurement and Supply offer a practical, cost-effective solution – helping employers build high-performing teams while developing the next generation of procurement leaders.
At Aspire, we deliver high-quality, CIPS-accredited apprenticeships that help businesses strengthen capability, improve performance and achieve measurable results.
Build Skills That Deliver Real Business Impact
CIPS Apprenticeships are built around the real-world demands of modern procurement. Apprentices develop critical skills in sourcing, contract management, negotiation, supplier relationships and sustainable procurement. This isn’t classroom learning for learning’s sake – it’s hands-on professional development that directly supports your organisation’s goals. Apprentices apply what they learn immediately, driving efficiency, innovation and cost savings across your supply chain.
Develop and Retain Your Own Talent
Recruiting experienced procurement professionals is both costly and competitive. A CIPS Apprenticeship allows you to develop talent from within, building capability at every level of your team.
Whether you’re nurturing new starters or upskilling existing employees, apprenticeships create clear career pathways and increase retention by showing your commitment to their growth and professional development.
Maximise Your Apprenticeship Levy or Access Funded Training
If your organisation pays the Apprenticeship Levy, investing in CIPS Apprenticeships ensures those funds are used to grow your own people – rather than going unused.
For non-levy employers, government funding covers up to 95% of training costs, making professional development in procurement more accessible than ever. At Aspire, we handle the process from start to finish – from levy advice and paperwork to tailored delivery plans – ensuring you get the maximum return on your investment.
Achieve Industry-Recognised Excellence
The Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS) is the global benchmark for professional procurement standards. A CIPS qualification demonstrates credibility, capability, and commitment to best practice.
By supporting your team through a CIPS Apprenticeship, you not only raise individual performance – you strengthen your organisation’s reputation for ethical and effective procurement. Aspire Procurement Training offers apprenticeships containing CIPS Level 2 to CIPS Level 6 qualifications.
