Implementing Your Apprenticeship Strategy
We have been in the Human Resources business for a very long time and have successfully supported countless HR practitioners through their CIPD learning journey. This knowledge and experience is used to maximum effect when collaborating with large organisations to deliver approved HR Apprenticeship schemes.
The Process
Apprenticeships can be tailored to your company’s needs particularly if you have enough apprentices – we require a minimum of ten apprentices for our HR programmes. We can then focus on the policies, cultures and values of the organisation as part of the delivery.
