Software and data operatives are found in organisations large and small in all sectors and within public, private and voluntary organisations. Foundation apprenticeships introduce skills for a range of jobs in a sector, and provide general skills for work. After a foundation, apprentices can specialise and do a standard level 2 or 3 apprenticeship. Employers get an incentive payment for foundation apprenticeships, as well as government funding for training and assessment costs.
