Understanding and accessing funding routes You're probably aware of the apprenticeship levy, but do you know how to access yours and make it really work for you? And are you managing it effectively?
Joining the dots with wider talent strategy Even if you are utilising your levy, how connected are your initiatives to your wider resourcing, skills, and learning teams?
Delivering genuinely personalised learning experiences Treating learners as individuals is no longer a nice to have, it's essential. But it's not always easy to get right.
Demonstrating ROI Starting with driving engagement, and having the right data to tell a meaningful story connecting skills to performance.
