Apprenticeship Levy: Burden or Opportunity

by Arch Apprentices | Talent

On 6th April 2017, the Government introduced the Apprenticeship Levy.

The Apprenticeship Levy is the Government’s response to the UK’s skills gap and represents the biggest single shake-up in vocational and professional training in the last 25 years.

It is up to businesses to decide if they view the Levy as just “another tax on business”, or as an opportunity to use apprenticeships to plug their skills shortages – which McKinsey estimates is causing “major business problems” for a third of all UK employers.
