Apprenticeship Event for Employers – Monday 3 December 2018

Whether you want to recruit new talent into your business or develop existing staff, apprenticeships build the knowledge, skills and behaviours you need for a productive workforce. No longer just for young people, they help staff of all ages and levels progress in work. They can include degrees or chartered status and provide a valuable pathway to develop the right staff, your way – no matter what sector your business is operating in.

We would like to invite you to The York, North Yorkshire and East Riding Enterprise Partnership (YNYER LEP) and Humber Enterprise Partnership (Humber LEP) Apprenticeship Employer Event which is taking place on:    Monday 3 December 2018 at Bishop Burton College, York Road, Beverley HU17 8QG from 9.00 am – 12.15 pm (followed by a networking lunch)

This event is for employers who are delivering, or considering delivering apprenticeships. The event will include best practice input from employers already seeing the benefits of investment in apprenticeships and information on the latest apprenticeship developments. We will launch  a new interactive toolkit, commissioned by the LEP’s, to signpost employers looking for support with setting up apprenticeship programmes and effectively planning and using apprenticeship funding (including apprenticeship levy).
