Birmingham City University has launched an ambitious new initiative to help small businesses, charities, and community organisations across the West Midlands access vital funding to upskill their workforce. Through its Apprenticeship Levy Share Scheme, the University will cover 100% of apprenticeship training and assessment costs for eligible employers.
