How Councils Can Unlock Leadership Potential with the Apprenticeship Levy

 

Council managers are under pressure, yet most haven’t received formal leadership training. With challenges around recruitment, morale and retention, leadership capability is now a top priority.

 

This white paper shows how councils can use unspent apprenticeship levy funds to build confident, future-ready managers - at no extra cost.

 

You’ll learn:

  • 82% of council managers are ‘accidental’ and what effect this has on the sector
  • How £150m in unused Levy funding could upskill 17,000 leaders
  • Why councils need human skills like empathy, agility and resilience
  • How one council upskilled 200+ managers through a modern, flexible programme

98% of Future Talent Learning alumni say they’re more effective managers.
