How to make the new apprentice levy work for you

Is your work force approaching retirement? Have you had trouble finding the right skills to grow your business? Are you aware that whatever size business you are, funding will be available to grow the skills you require? 

This workshop focuses on how the new government apprentice levy scheme will work for your business and is aimed at manufacturing and technology companies.

Speakers from the Skills Funding Agency, SEMTA and AIrbus will be presenting the apprenticeship levy, frameworks including how the new funding system will work, the Trailblazer programme to improve the apprentice curriculum, and our national Aerospace Growth Partnerships (AGP) support for skills development along our supply chains.
