A Workforce Fit for the Digital Age

by Arch Apprentices | Digital Transformation

Since May 2017, apprenticeships have been in the limelight. There’s been a visible buzz in the industry, and with the new Apprenticeship Standards, it feels like we’re in a new era. However, employers have been slow to catch up. We surveyed 750 business leaders with responsibility for HR or Learning and Development, and 70% told us they have still not taken advantage of the Apprenticeship Levy despite being four months in, with 38% having not hired apprentices yet.

Download this report by Arch Apprenticeships for a deep dive in how employers really see the Levy and how they intend to plan for the future.
