Funded training for employers

Many organisations are having to reset their workforce development plans.

You’ll have heard about the incentivised training schemes that the government has launched and for employers – from apprenticeships and kickstart, to traineeships and industry placements.

But how can these schemes support your workforce development plans? How might they link together? How can they feed your long-term talent pipeline?

That’s where we come in…

A very good workshop, good pace of delivery and inclusive

Tarmac

A very informative webinar. It was good to bring in different spokespeople who had the experience and advice, and even a reality check on the hurdles and obstacles. Definitely feel more informed than before joining.

Very informative session. Thank you. Best session on T-levels that I have attended.

It was a really valuable session and I would recommend it to other employers.
