ASVI – Apprenticeship Social Value Index

About ASVI

A New Approach to Measuring Apprenticeship Social Value

ASVI provides a consistent and evidence-led approach to assessing the social and economic value delivered through apprenticeships.

Our vision

“To establish a trusted and recognised framework for demonstrating how apprenticeships create opportunity, improve economic mobility and strengthen communities.”

Founded by MASA

ASVI is founded by the Multicultural Apprenticeship and Skills Alliance (MASA), bringing together its interest in apprenticeships, inclusion, social mobility and employer engagement.

The initiative responds to a growing need for organisations to show not just how many apprenticeships they offer, but the difference those apprenticeships make.
