Talent drives innovation, efficiency and competitiveness. In tougher economic times, it is more important than ever that you can recruit the right skills and talent potential
UK universities developed 650,000 new graduates in 2007 and we are currently funding over 5 million adults to learn. In England alone, there were over 100,000 newly qualified apprenticeships in 2007. These numbers will continue to increase.

Apprenticeships
A great way to recruit talent and ensure that the potential is developed into the skills that your business needs is to recruit apprenticeships using Train to Gain funding. Over the next 10 years, we will fund apprenticeship places for one in five young people and make more places available for older workers.
