Event Summary
The apprenticeships system in the UK is changing. Attend Westminster Insight’s timely Apprenticeships Conference to hear about the latest developments and what they mean for your organisation.
The Government has announced a series of reforms to tackle skills shortages and boost economic growth, with a focus on investing in younger workers. The introduction of the Growth and Skills Levy, new foundation apprenticeships and the creation of Skills England brings a huge change to how apprenticeships will be delivered across the country.
Apprenticeships will play a vital role in tackling the skills gaps across industries from health and social care, education, manufacturing, and science and technology.
You will hear how to design and deliver effective programmes and create a diverse talent pipeline in your organisation. Find out how to attract the best apprentices, access a wider and more diverse talent pool and improve productivity rates through impactful apprenticeships.
Hear directly from UCAS, who will discuss the increasingly important role of universities in the apprenticeship space. Understand what is next for the UCAS tariff point changes and what this means for apprenticeships.
How can your organisation reap the benefits of delivering apprenticeships under the new reforms? What will be the impact on current training strategies and programmes? What will ‘rebalancing’ apprenticeship spending mean for your organisation? What will it mean for the younger workforce?
Join with colleagues from across the apprenticeship sector including employers, universities, colleges, local authorities and apprenticeship providers to discuss key policy issues and ensure that you are prepared for the new changes ahead.
