We were excited to be part of this Inside Your Ed podcast, with @annaambrose.bsky.social talking all things apprenticeships, young people and SMEs alongside our good friend Katy Dorman. ☕ Grab a cuppa 🎧 Have a listen 🔉 Let us know what you think!

A belated post having attended this report launch on Monday. Lots to think about in terms of the implications for SMEs - who struggle to find the diverse talent they really need to recruit - and for how @workwhileuk.bsky.social should respond... As ever, the stars were the panel of young people 🌟

This is important work from @smfthinktank.bsky.social on SME apprenticeships, with a focus here on skilled trades. There's a lot that here that echoes our experiences @workwhileuk.bsky.social, where we've supported over 2,000 SME apprenticeships since 2020.

So many good things to read this week! I love this blog - plenty that chimes with how young people defined good work when we asked them, and that's reflected in our SME programmes @workwhileuk.bsky.social. Interesting to see how we compare to other countries on relationships and autonomy at work.
