Public Sector Bodies and Government Departments, with 250 or more staff in England, have a target to employ an average of at least 2.3% of their staff as new apprentice starts over the period of 1st April 2017 to 31st March 2021.

Due to our specialist trainers and programme capacity, we have a very successful track record within the Public Sector and Central Government. We understand the complex requirements that Public Sector organisations must meet through skills development and work with a large variety of authorities, identifying and building on their skills gap across a range of job roles.
