Apprenticeships provide employers with an excellent opportunity to cultivate their internal talent pool. In the 2022-2023 academic year, over 600,000 individuals participated in apprenticeships.

While apprenticeships have seen growth in participation, challenges remain in areas such as recruiting and retaining suitable candidates, securing funding and financial support for employers and apprentices, ensuring quality assurance, fostering industry engagement, addressing perception and awareness, and tackling issues related to inequality and diversity.

The Institute of Government & Public Policy’s Third Annual Future Apprenticeships Conference will explore the future of apprenticeships in the UK, with key themes such as delivering high-quality apprentice programmes, enhancing apprentice uptake, and improving access and inclusion. The conference will delve into the crucial role apprenticeships play in tackling the UK’s productivity crisis, examining skills needs, and fostering growth across various industries. Attendees can expect a comprehensive learning experience and networking opportunities with leading experts in the field.

Join us for the Third Annual Future Apprenticeships Conference for timely sector updates and trends around the implications of recent policy activities and their impact on apprenticeship employers and providers.
