Calculate ROI
The overall ROI is calculated by subtracting the costs from the returns and expressing it as a percentage:
(Total Financial Returns – Total Investment) / Total Investment x 100
For example, the ROI for four apprenticeships over one year would look like:
Total Investment = $200,000
Total Financial Returns = $300,000
ROI = (300,000 - 200,000) / 200,000 x 100 = 50%
An ROI of 50% means that for every $100 invested in the apprenticeship program, the organization receives $150 in return (i.e., $50 profit for every $100 spent).
