Hire Future-Ready Talent Upskill Your Workforce
Backed by our B Corp mission and funded by the Government or the Growth & Skills Levy, Diverse Futures helps you build inclusive, high-performing teams that last.
Funding Apprenticeships, the Smart Way
We’re all about helping our clients make the most of what they’ve already got. The Growth & Skills Levy (formerly The Apprenticeship Levy) is a government fund set aside for training – but it’s often left untouched. If you don’t pay into the levy, the government will fund up between 95 – 100% of your Apprenticeship cost. Talk to us to find out more,
We’ll help you unlock it to bring in new talent or upskill your existing team. From sourcing and selecting to work-ready training, we’ve got you covered – and it’s all fully funded.
You can use your Levy exclusively with us to:
- Upskill current staff and support career growth
- Build a diverse pipeline of early-career talent
- Invest in training that delivers long term value for your people and your business
Developing People is the Smartest Investment You Can Make
