A leading apprenticeship provider is aiming to recover £1million of unspent funding to support new jobs and upskill employees.
Total People, which provides apprenticeships in more than 30 different industries across the UK, has teamed up with leading businesses to campaign for redirected apprenticeship levy funding to support new placements and upskill workers in key sectors.
Government figures revealed that more than £250 million of funding earmarked to create new apprenticeships was returned to the Treasury unspent last year. The funding could have created around 30,000 apprenticeships, according to Total People, particularly with small businesses who are struggling to recruit and train new staff.
