Deputy Director Adam Hawksbee writes for the Yorkshire Post, using the example of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) in South Yorkshire to illustrate the many benefits of an integrated model of apprenticeship delivery. This comes as we publish our latest research report ‘Course Correction: Why We Need to Reform Apprenticeships.’

‘The ‘secret sauce’ behind the growth of the AMRC is its approach to skills – and in particular, apprenticeships. Hundreds of manufacturing businesses, large and small, take advantage of the on-site Training Centre to develop their workforce.

And it is underpinned by an approach to apprenticeships which meets the needs of both workers and business.’
