Future Ready

Level 3
In partnership with Grant Thornton

Combining the £5,000 Apprenticeship Levy and National Insurance savings for each under-25 graduate of up to £6,000, the Future Ready Programme is a solid investment in developing and retaining high-performing young people in the workplace.

Our Future Ready Programme is a Level 3 apprenticeship designed specifically for graduates. It equips aspiring leaders with the core skills, behaviours, and confidence needed to take on their first management roles, helping them grow their leadership potential and make a meaningful impact from the outset.

Our Level 3 Excelling in Team Leadership Apprenticeship is perfect for under-25 non-graduates. The programme provides a cost-effective solution for developing your new and aspiring managers. It’s also fully-funded by the Apprenticeship Levy and is eligible for National Insurance exemption.

Why this programme?

Fully funded by the Apprenticeship Levy, our Future Ready programme provides a cost-effective solution for developing your aspiring managers and supports your organisation to:

  • Leverage up to £11,000 in government funding and NI savings per learner

  • Bridge the gap between raw potential and real leadership capability

  • Invest in future talent and promote professional development

  • Build core people management skills early and avoid poor habits or overwhelm

Key challenges addressed

Many early-career hires show promise but struggle with confidence, communication, or stepping up into leadership responsibility. Our Future Ready programme focuses on the key challenges and topics impacting the roles of your future talent, helping to influence, grow and shape their leadership behaviour. With invaluable resources, tools and discussions, we help learners to address and overcome these challenges, improve their confidence and perform to the highest levels.
