The apprenticeship funding landscape never stands still — and for many employers, keeping up with the latest rules can feel overwhelming, time‑consuming and unnecessarily complicated. With new updates to apprenticeship funding expected in April, many organisations across the Solent region (and nationally) are asking the same questions:
- What exactly is changing?
- What will the apprenticeship levy cover — and what won’t it?
- How can we use national policy and local priorities to support our real workforce challenges?
- Where do we even start without losing hours to conflicting guidance online?
You are not alone — and that’s precisely why we’re hosting this session.
