For Line Managers

This is a zone for Line Managers who may be currently managing an apprentice in their team or might be considering if apprenticeships could help their direct reports develop.

Line Managers play a key role in the success of our employees undertaking apprenticeships; studying alongside work is a significant commitment and employees need to be supported in managing their time and resources.
