National Apprenticeship Week 5-9 March

Next week is National Apprenticeship Week - a time to celebrate, encourage and inspire when it comes to emphasising the benefits that apprenticeships bring to people, businesses and communities.

We have a number of exciting initiatives to share with you:

Apprenticeships

BOSS's training provider, the BPIF, is a leading apprenticeship provider with course durations ranging from 12-36 months. Subjects include:
• Business Administration
• Customer Service
• Leadership & Management

Apprenticeships offer the perfect opportunity to learn and develop alongside full time employment, benefitting the individual and the business simultaneously. If you are considering development opportunities talk to the BPIF about what's available and what may suit your business. Click here for further information.

Contact your MP

BOSS sits on a Government and Industry Committee to communicate your needs to Government and we're always looking for ways to connect our members with the country's decision-makers. We think showing MPs first-hand how our industry works, and sharing with them our ideas for how the Government can support us, is the best way to ensure they're representing us in the corridors of power. By far the best way to engage your local MP is to invite them to come and visit you at your premises.

If you would like help in getting an MP to visit your business and some ideas for topical issues to raise during the visit, please contact me.

Leaders of the Future Conference

This conference has been put together by the BOSS Leaders of the Future committee and takes place on Friday 9 March at Stationers' Hall in London. There will be inspiring speakers, an opportunity to network and working sessions leaving our industry's future talent empowered to go and drive new initiatives within your business.
