APPRENTICESHIPS are growing in popularity, helped by the government’s commitment to create three million by 2020.

As such, Alton Town Council is working with Alton College to help employers understand how the new apprenticeship levy works, what local government funding is available to up-skill teams and take on new members of staff, and why employing an apprentice can benefit business.

With speakers from East Hampshire District Council and Aspiral Learning, and a question-and-answer session headed by East Hampshire MP?Damian Hinds (pictured), employers are invited to Alton College tomorrow morning to find out more and to ask questions.
