Apprentices develop confidence, resilience, adaptability and character as a result of their apprenticeship. All apprentices complete an Outward Bound course where they learn about the high standards of behaviour that the company expects. The challenging activities that apprentices complete develop their teamwork, problem-solving and leadership skills, which they use in the workplace. Apprentices flourish as individuals.

As a JOSCAR partner, Outward Bound is committed to achieving the best outcomes for your organisation
We take your apprentices and graduates into the wild landscapes of the UK, where they face outdoor challenges that push their limits. They'll discover they can achieve far more than they ever imagined. This realisation – that sustained effort leads to reward –sparks profound transformation. We help them uncover hidden skills and behaviours, from teamwork and self-awareness to understanding organisational values. Plus, we boost their wellbeing along the way!
