How do you make the most of your apprenticeship levy? Did you know that you can gift some of your levy to industry peers and not-for-profits who may be too small to pay into a levy pot in the first place?
Join our upcoming webinar where specialists from Davies’ Learning division, Tim Scales, Business Development Director, John McDermott, Head of Business Development and Graeme Pratt, Client Relationship Manager will take you through the structure of specialist insurance apprenticeships, and the benefits they bring for your business and people. With a wealth of knowledge between them, the team will discuss the process of the levy and how to support both apprentices and managers during the process.
