The team can offer guidance tailored to your organisational needs with expert advisers who can support you in your pursuit of workforce development. They can work with you to create a strategic approach towards adopting apprenticeships and skills into your organisation by identifying skills gaps, establishing the most relevant apprenticeship or skills training courses, utilising available funding and building a vision for the future of skills development in your workforce.
The team can also offer support to organisations who don’t pay the apprenticeship levy to access levy transfers from HCC Apprenticeship surplus levy funds.
