Raising Awareness for Apprenticeships in the UK Business Market At Go Live Data, we’ve discovered that many UK businesses are unaware of the incredible funding opportunities and benefits that apprenticeships offer. Over the past four years, we’ve dedicated ourselves to bridging this knowledge gap by partnering with colleges and independent training providers to proactively approach local business owners. By engaging directly with these businesses, we’ve been able to raise awareness and spark meaningful conversations about the value of apprenticeships. Many business owners were surprised to learn about the untapped potential and support available to them, and we’re proud to have played a role in opening their eyes to these opportunities. As we look ahead to 2025, we’re excited to continue our mission of educating and empowering businesses to take advantage of apprenticeship programs. Together, we can create a more skilled and dynamic workforce for the future. #Apprenticeships #UKBusiness #GoLiveData #WorkforceDevelopment #BusinessGrowth

Did you know the UK Government Fully Funds Apprenticeships for Small Businesses? The UK government is fully funding apprenticeships for small businesses, covering the entire cost of training for individuals up to the age of 21. With an investment of £60 million, this initiative aims to create 20,000 more apprenticeships. Additionally, large employers paying the apprenticeship levy can now transfer up to 50% of their funds to support other businesses, including smaller firms. This move is expected to reduce costs for businesses and provide more opportunities for young people to kick-start their careers.
