Hear from training providers, Manchester Metropolitan University and CSR Group as well as chemistry employers, LGC and AstraZeneca about the benefits of apprenticeships and how they contribute to their businesses.

Apprenticeships are also shown to boost staff productivity, business competitiveness and employee engagement and retention thereby reducing recruitment costs. Support is available from the UK government, training providers and the 新月直播app下载 to help with the costs of training apprentices.
