5. What employers have said
We don’t need you to help us with our retail skills – we know retail. Where we struggle is with Leadership and Management skills. We will be spending the bulk of our £11 million levy on Leadership and Management
The Levy has come in but we’re not ready to get started yet
We know that the qualification isn’t funded within the levy, but it is key to us to ensure quality of delivery, and most importantly to get our employees (some of which have been with the company for many years) to buy into Management Apprenticeships
We will be spending the vast majority of our levy on existing staff rather than trying to attract new Apprentices into the organisation
