This practical policy session for apprenticeship leaders and business development teams will explore how emerging policies for small and medium-sized employers may affect apprenticeship demand and delivery. We will consider the implications for employer engagement, programme design, funding and partnership working, and the different needs of smaller organisations. We will translate policy into a clear SME proposition, review how to adapt recruitment and account-management approaches and build delivery models that are accessible, sustainable and more likely to support participation and achievement.
