As apprenticeships continue to evolve, it’s crucial for employers to recognise their untapped potential in fostering growth. While some businesses have embraced apprenticeships as a strategic asset, many have yet to fully tap into their transformative power. In this feature, we’ll highlight the compelling advantages that Senior Leader and Chartered Manager apprenticeships can bring to your business.

Creating a Dynamic Workforce

At Kent, we champion the profound impact of apprenticeships on organisational dynamics. By incorporating apprenticeships into your workforce, you not only shape the next generation of talent but also gain access to cutting-edge knowledge and skills from experienced academics. Our business and management apprenticeships, in particular, can help even seasoned managers gain new perspectives and unlock their full potential.

Elevating Your Business

A well-structured Senior Leader and Chartered Manager apprenticeship can enhance your business value and address challenges head-on. A key part of each apprenticeship journey is the End-point Assessment (EPA). For Senior Leader and Chartered Manager apprentices, the EPA involves a practical workplace project, a compelling presentation, probing questions, and a professional dialogue. This empowers apprentices to tackle real-world business problems or improve operational aspects, injecting fresh perspectives into your company’s trajectory.

Cost-effective Training Solutions

Leveraging Senior Leader and Chartered Manager apprenticeship training is a smart investment in your company’s future. The natural synergy between learning and contributing means that apprentices actively add value as they acquire skills. Various funding options are available, from the Apprenticeship Levy for larger organisations to government co-investment incentives for smaller enterprises. Exploring levy transfer options among partners or supply chains can also maximise your training budget.
