What is Marketing & Recruitment Engine?

Journey Marketing & Recruitment Engine is a growth service for UK apprenticeship providers covering employer and learner campaigns, content, landing pages, CRM follow-up and reporting — for a fixed 10% commercial fee calculated against generated apprenticeship value. Campaign costs and ad spend can be agreed separately.

The challenge

Marketing and recruitment are constant pressure points for providers. Campaigns need content, follow-up, landing pages, employer messaging, learner attraction, CRM discipline and consistent execution.

What Journey does

Journey Marketing & Recruitment Engine helps providers generate demand and convert opportunities into starts — campaigns, content, landing pages, CRM follow-up and reporting.

Funding-safe and audit-ready by design

Built so your data, your funding and your audit trail hold up

Hard tenant isolation

Every record is scoped to your organisation on each read and write — one provider can never see another's data.

Append-only audit log

Every state change is recorded against the real person who made it, so the history stands up at audit.

Versioned DfE rule packs

Funding is computed server-side against the right year for each start date — 2024/25 and 2025/26, and built to adopt the 2026/27 pack now published by the DWP.

Governed AI

AI is metered per tenant, prompts are scrubbed of learner PII and outputs are validated, falling back gracefully.

ISO 27001 & Cyber Essentials

Built and operated by a UK company to externally-audited information-security standards.

Your data and employers stay yours

No lock-in: export your data whenever you like, and your employer relationships always remain yours.

Journey is independent software and is not DfE or Ofsted approved. It does not guarantee funding or inspection outcomes.
