This week, the Department of Education and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer have been discussing the latest skills gaps identified in the first Skills England report. They have uncovered several critical sectors with skills gaps across the nation and highlighted how apprenticeships can boost opportunities for young people. One of the key skill gaps outlined is in the technology sector.
We are reaching out to businesses in the Taunton area to explore collaboration opportunities to support the younger generation and the future of technology by educating apprentices and meeting your recruiting needs. The government is now allowing funding for shorter apprenticeships, providing greater flexibility for learners and employers during their training.
How we can support you:
- Recruit an apprentice for your business: Government Funded
- Free recruitment service: Our recruitment service is completely free to help you find the best talent in the area.
- Fresh ideas: The younger generation brings fresh ideas to a business.
- Government grant: If you employ an apprentice aged 16-18, you will receive a £1000 grant from the Government.
- Diverse programmes: We offer programmes in various technology sectors including marketing, data, software, ICT, and business. Find out more here.
It is not too late to hire an apprentice. With these recent government changes, there has been a trend across the apprenticeship industry with an increase in applicants applying in October instead of the summer period.
