What apprentices build for charity & third sector
Five workflows charities ship inside a TESS apprenticeship — every learner builds against your own CRM and supporter data.
Beneficiary outreach & risk stratification
Train teams to use AI to prioritise outreach to highest-need beneficiaries — letting your delivery resource go further.
Content personalisation & campaign automation
Apprentices build the kind of personalisation infrastructure normally only seen in commercial brands — applied to supporter journeys.
Grants pipeline forecasting
ML over your historic grants data to predict win likelihood and resourcing impact — sharper bid choices, less wasted effort.
Volunteer matching & rota AI
Apprentices build volunteer-matching systems that pair skills, location and availability — reducing volunteer turnover.
Apprenticeship pathways for charity & third sector
Three pathways for charity roles — all levy-eligible, and levy-share-friendly if you're under the £3M threshold.
AI Data Apprenticeship Level 3
For database admins, fundraising assistants and operations co-ordinators who need real SQL, Python and BI skills.
AI & Automation Level 4
Flagship pathway for fundraising managers, service leads and digital ops — ship a live AI build.
AI for Team Leaders Level 4
For service managers, area managers and team leads across charities and not-for-profits.
Frequently asked questions
We're a small charity — no levy. Can we still afford this?
Yes — non-levy charities pay just 5%, with the government funding 95%. You can also receive transferred levy from a corporate partner (we'll help broker).
Will this fit our trustee governance?
Yes — we cover AI governance and trustee-board reporting in L4 explicitly. Apprentices ship paper that fits straight into trustee meetings.
How does this work with GDPR for beneficiary data?
All training uses synthetic data. Real-data projects only run inside your existing data-protection regime — supervised by your DPO.
Can we get a cohort with peer charities?
Yes — we routinely run cohorts that mix 3-5 small charities to hit cohort viability.
Will it support our outcome-reporting to funders?
Strongly — apprentices learn to build outcome-evidence pipelines that make funder reporting easier and more credible.
