We were proud to be Headline Sponsors for this year’s Annual Apprenticeship Conference (AAC) on 21 and 22 March.

It was great to be back at a physical event in Birmingham to speak with so many providers and employers to discuss how we can “Build back better” with apprenticeships post-pandemic.

Our Managing Director David Phillips hosted a plenary session on the theme of Levelling up the Midlands and the part apprenticeships can play. You can read his thoughts on the dedicated blog.

If you attended the conference we hope that you enjoyed it as much as we did. Take a look at our highlights video below.
