Supporting AgencyUK with apprenticeship recruitment and upskilling
Image credit: WTPN Agency UK AgencyUK is a Bath-based brand and communications agency and a certified B Corp. Apprenticeships have long been part of its culture, but the company previously managed the process independently - navigating courses, providers, and levy funding without external support.
This collaborative, end-to-end support has transformed apprenticeships from a time-consuming challenge into a strategic development tool aligned with AgencyUK’s values.
The Mayoral Priority Skills Fund (MPSF) provides flexible grant funding to meet current priority skills gaps in the region. These priorities have been identified through robust intelligence gathered showing there are gaps in current provision and that there is no other current funding available to meet this need.
Western Training Provider Network is funded by Mayoral Priority Skills Fund Mayoral Priority Skills Fund to deliver a programme called West of England Apprenticeship Service to support apprentice starts in the region and improve completion rates.
Western Training Provider Network support all groups; new applicants, all ages, unemployed, NEET, school/college leavers and existing staff to upskill and progress them into work and beyond. They support employers with guidance and work with training providers to ensure a robust and supportive programme.
