and Senior People Professional Apprentice
We are creating career pathways to retain and retrain staff which never existed before. Not only does this motivate and engage staff, but it stops us as an organisationfrom wasting the talent that we have in our support services. None of this would have been possible without the range of degree apprenticeships available to us.
