The PRCA Apprenticeships and Skills Group is a forum for organisations running their own apprenticeships programmes or supporting clients who work in the apprenticeships and skills space. The Group looks to discuss the latest developments, opportunities and challenges for apprenticeships and skills. It aims to provide a forum for industry and employers to discuss how to promote the role of high-quality apprenticeships, explore how apprenticeships can meet the changing skill demands for the future world of work and to lead the debate to shape the future of apprenticeships and skills in the UK.
