CREATING YOUR FUTURE  WORKFORCE

#SkillsForLife

Join us for National Apprenticeship Week and create your future workforce with an apprenticeship.

It’s not just individuals that gain from apprenticeships – they also allow employers to power a workforce with future-ready skills.

The benefits of partnering with Total People:

  • We are experts at setting up apprenticeships – just last year we were able to secure over £1m in funding for apprenticeships and set up over 200 funded opportunities
  • We can offer unrivalled support for employers that take on an apprentice, working with them throughout the whole process
  • Build key skills and bridge the skills gap in your business 
  • Support career progression and improve staff retention 
  • Create future leaders for your business 
  • Improve productivity across your organisation 
  • Train new talent in skills unique to your business 
  • Improve your reputation with employees and customers 
  • Reduce financial burden of recruitment and training with government funding incentives

If you’re an SME business, you can train your staff at no cost to you, thanks to Total People’s links with levy-paying organisations.

Funding rules mean that SMEs are usually required to pay 5% of the cost of apprenticeship training, however, Total People are working with large levy-paying employers who have unused levy funds available to support apprentices in non-levy paying businesses. 

We are working with levy employers to generate levy-gifted funding that can go directly to you to cover the cost of training staff in your business.

“As we have unspent apprenticeship levy funds, we would love to identify organizations including small businesses to enable them to support their employees through apprenticeship programmes and make an impact within their business. The partnership with LTE Group and their training provider Total People will help us to do this. This sector is particularly important to Premier Foods as we have several customer service occupations in Financial Services and Manufacturing where there is a growing shortage of skills.  We believe that by supporting the sector we are contributing actively to feeding the supply of these relevant skills for the future.”

We immediately recognised that this was a great opportunity to work with Total People by gifting £100,000 to help develop the next generation of engineers across the built environment. These funds supported the attraction and retention of talent in a sector that continues to evolve in support of digital transformation and energy transition. Maintaining a focus on Levy Gifting will continue to be important for SPIE UK as we enter 2022 and look to the future development of our industry.

“G4S plays an important role in society. Our community investment programmes allow our businesses to respond to the issues and needs of their local markets and communities. We do this through partnerships and campaigns with organizations in those communities and supporting the health, education, and welfare of children and young people, with the wider aim of helping to raise aspirations. Helping small organizations to develop childcare and education through our levy contributions is just one of several ways G4S demonstrates its corporate social responsibilities.”

“At NatWest, we know how rewarding apprenticeship programme can be for both the SME employer population and those who participate. Apprenticeship programmes help people to access new careers they may have never considered whilst building skills for the future, helping both people and industry. I am delighted that this funding will be redirected, through the LTE group, to SME employers across Greater Manchester in the Health, Social Care and Childcare and Education sectors and will allow young people to develop new skills and capabilities in sectors that do brilliant work, taking care of people in the local community. This transfer shows our commitment at NatWest to champion potential by helping people, families, and businesses to thrive.”

“At Skipton Building Society we believe in supporting all individuals to reach their full potential.  We use apprenticeships to support our own colleagues and fully believe that small businesses will really benefit from developing their colleagues using HR, Coaching, and Mentoring apprenticeships.  While we support our internal colleagues we have levy funds that are not being used so we are really excited to be able to support small businesses to develop their capability with our pledge of £100,000 in the HR, Coaching, and Mentoring sector.  We believe that in these difficult financial times extra support to be able to fund apprenticeships will really make a difference to these organizations and the young people who will be given an opportunity to participate.”

As a company with a strong reputation for engineering excellence, this is an exciting and innovative time for apprentices looking to start or expand their careers in this sector.

“We currently have underspent apprenticeship levy funds and are working to identify organizations including small businesses who can receive the funds to create a positive change within their business. The Management and Leadership sector in particular is important to us as we are a people business and having great leaders is core to our talent and learning strategy. We believe that this capability is important in all organizations and integral to the growth in UK productivity that the apprenticeship levy seeks to support.”

We are delighted that some of our apprenticeship levy will be redirected, through the LTE group, to SME employers in the Childcare and Education sector enabling others to develop new skills and capabilities to enable them to best support their local communities. This transfer shows our commitment at Rotork to help people and communities to build and grow."
