From our earliest roots working with the Greater London Authority, we're experienced in delivering place-based work at a local and regional level.
Explore how we can support your local priorities around apprenticeships, skills and good work.
SME apprenticeship support and levy transfer brokerage
We've supported over 3,000 SME apprenticeship starts since 2020, and brokered the transfer of over £25 million in unspent levy funds, creating opportunities which specifically benefit people from disadvantaged and marginalised backgrounds.
We can roll our programme of SME support and levy transfer brokerage out in your area, to meet your specific local priorities. And if you've been managing a levy transfer brokerage service in-house, speak to us about utilising our expert support to lighten the load.
Local Skills Improvement Plan delivery
Building on our work commissioned by Central London Forward as part of the LSIP, we can deliver projects to support your strategic priorities by:
- Supporting increased SME apprenticeship starts in key sectors for your region's growth
- Support SMEs to address key skills shortages – with apprenticeships proven in terms of their return on investment for employers, and wider economic returns
- Create inclusive opportunities for local residents from disadvantaged and marginalised backgrounds to gain in-demand skills
Good Work Health Check
Our Good Work Health Check is a tool to support employers to improve the quality of work they offer. Through a meeting with a senior business leader, we benchmark their current practice against four pillars of good work, and provide a tailored report to signpost ways to improve.
If you're developing or embedding a good work framework in your area, this could be the perfect tool to support local businesses to implement improvements, making the world of work better for everyone. Talk to us about how we can tailor it to your context.
Bespoke projects
We've delivered bespoke projects to meet specific local needs, from supporting a local authority to create a cohort of Community Health Champion apprentices, to delivering tailored inclusive management training focused on the needs of care experienced young people.
Whatever your priorities around apprenticeships, skills and good work, we'd love to discuss how we could play a role.
