Working with Employers

As funding for vocational qualifications moves towards a more localised model the need for employers to understand what is available and ensure their needs are met has never been greater.

Commissioning training through Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs), for example, helps to address local priorities and skills gaps. Whilst the introduction of the Apprenticeship Levy is designed to stimulate an increase in the use of apprenticeships.

On this page we’ve pulled together links to those products and services that can help employers understand what is available and take advantage of the opportunities.
