There are expected to be changes to the government funding available for Level 7 apprenticeships through the apprenticeship levy in the near future.
This means businesses in England need to act fast to use the levy pot available to them now, in order to secure master's-level apprenticeships that can help employees develop their skills and move into leadership roles.
At Cranfield, our Senior Leader Apprenticeship programmes empower professionals with the strategic skills and insights needed to drive transformation and innovation in their organisations. Due to popular demand, we are launching additional cohorts while there’s still time to secure funded training for you and your business.
This will include the Senior Leader Executive Programme, Senior Leader Apprenticeship (with Rosalind Franklin Programme), Senior Leader Apprenticeship+ Executive MBA and Senior Leader Apprenticeship+ Management and Leadership MSc.
