The Power of Higher Apprenticeships - 12 July 2013
Higher Apprenticeships are transforming the way in which businesses are acquiring and developing the skills they need. They include the blend of knowledge, experience and business skills that employers need and are an excellent way of developing and motivating your workforce to maximise the potential of your business.
