Upskill existing employees
Struggling to upskill without breaking the bank? There’s a smarter way.
Right now, every business in Scotland is feeling the pressure – rising National Insurance contributions are making it harder than ever to hire the talent you need without making tough sacrifices elsewhere.
But there’s a smarter solution. Leverage apprenticeship training to upskill staff and achieve the skills level your business needs while saving on NI contributions. Our Level 8 apprenticeships are designed for those employees who already have some relevant experience in the area.
