A groundbreaking new skills funding programme ‘Be the Digital Business’ was launched to help thousands of small and medium sized businesses in England to train people into digital careers.
Data, digital and tech apprenticeship provider, QA, and mentoring provider, Be the Business, have joined forces to deliver the programme, which will offer participating SMEs fully funded training for people to enter new roles in data and AI, cybersecurity and cloud IT, as well as direct access to industry leaders for valuable insight.
Be the Digital Business will use unspent Apprenticeship Levy money from leading household names – including Amazon, Capita, Nationwide and Salesforce – to provide full funding for digital apprenticeship programmes to help SMEs sustainably thrive in the digital economy.
The Apprenticeship Levy is a tax that all employers with a payroll of more than £3 million pay. However, many large businesses do not spend the money they are entitled to.
