Discover more about how organisations from industries including construction, hairdressing, retail, private care and hospitality & catering, are building their workforce development strategies based on skills gaps, commercial needs and as a response to government targets and the apprenticeship levy.

  • what value apprenticeships and training programmes are bringing to their business.
