Apprenticeships: navigating the minefield – join HR's free live lunchtime debate

HR magazine’s first HR Lunchtime Debate, brought to you in conjunction with Commsight (an Opinion Matters service), is an online TV show that brings together experts to discuss the whys and wherefores of setting up an apprenticeship scheme.

During the live debate you will hear from Jason Holt, CEO of the Holts Group, who led the Government's employer review of boosting apprenticeships in SMEs and James Watts, vice president of HR and chief people officer for KFC UK & Ireland the first restaurant company to create an advance apprenticeship scheme.

They will be joined by Harmajinder Hayre, partner in the employment unit for the HR Legal Service.

  • The panel will address questions such as:
  • What exactly is an apprentice today?
  • What type of contract do you need?
  • What are the barriers to setting up a scheme and how do you overcome them?
  • How do you access Government grants?

Available to participants who request them, will be a free apprenticeship legal toolkit, courtesy of our partner HR Legal Service and a best practice apprenticeship guide for SMEs, courtesy of Holts Academy.
