About this Event
Join us on 9 February 2026 as part of National Apprenticeship Week for a practical, myth-busting session designed specifically for small and medium-sized businesses.
This event will cut through the common misconceptions around apprenticeships, address the barriers that often prevent SMEs from engaging, and show how apprenticeships can be used as a cost-effective and flexible way to develop your workforce.
With recent government announcements confirming that apprenticeship training for under-25s at SMEs will be fully funded, there has never been a better time to explore how apprenticeships can support your business - whether you are looking to fill skills gaps, grow talent internally, or plan for future expansion.
At the University of Kent, supporting our local business community is central to our mission. We work closely with employers, training providers and education partners to help tackle skills shortages and develop the workforce across Kent.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Darwin Conference Suite at our Canterbury campus, where you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and leave with a clear understanding of how apprenticeships could work for your organisation.
