Appenticeships:
An apprenticeship allows you to develop the practical skills and understanding you need to, not only excel in your role, but develop your career further. Apprenticeships are available in a huge variety of subjects at all educational levels, from GCSE through to master's degree equivalents. Whether you're interested in generalist business and management or developing specialist skills, there may be something to interest you. More details about apprenticeships can be found on our website.
If you are interested in a management and leadership apprenticeship, we have teamed up with KnowledgeBrief, who are providing briefing sessions (see below) for you to find out more.
