The disruption to the UK skills market is unprecedented so attracting and retaining the right talent has never been more important. Technology is changing the way we work, the prospect of Brexit is increasing competition for talent and shifts in the employment model are driving organisations to review their learning and development strategy.

Your people partner: co-creating solutions that work for you

Talent and skills investment is an effective way to secure the loyalty of your people and attract in-demand talent. People with specialist technical skills are necessary for the workplace of the future to develop and manage technologies that help the business function. But it also needs people who think creatively, show empathy, work collaboratively and adapt quickly to change.

The Apprenticeship Levy represents an untapped opportunity in this battle for talent. Supporting over 2,000 organisations to optimise their Levy funding we share insight and expertise to help you understand your position, the financial implications and possible opportunities of the Levy. We also combine our commercial insight, technical expertise and first-hand experience to think about skills differently and work with you to identify the skills needed to future-proof your people and business.
