New Employers’ Forum launched for third sector
Wed, 16/02/2011
A new Employers’ Forum has been been launched. Providing support for third sector apprenticeships the forum will:
- Support the development, understanding and promotion of apprenticeships in the third sector, including in charities, social enterprises and the voluntary and community sector.
- Provide practical, workshop-based advice on how to get involved with apprenticeships and how to support them within third sector organisations.
- Promote new “Advanced Apprenticeships” for the third sector.
