Apprenticeships are often misunderstood, and many businesses are unsure how they work in practice. As part of National Apprenticeship Week, the University of Kent is hosting a practical session to break down common myths and explore how apprenticeships can be a flexible, cost-effective way to develop your workforce.

9 February 2026
๐ 9:45โ11:00
๐ Darwin Conference Suite, University of Kent (Canterbury campus)
This session will:
โ Challenge common misconceptions around apprenticeships
โ Address the barriers that often prevent SMEs from engaging
โ Demonstrate how apprenticeships can help fill skills gaps, grow talent internally, and support future expansion
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 what apprenticeships could offer your business.
At the University of Kent, supporting the local business community is central to their mission. They work closely with employers, training providers and education partners to help tackle skills shortages and strengthen the local workforce across Kent.
Youโll also have the opportunity to meet their Business Development team, ask questions, and leave feeling more confident about how apprenticeships could support your organisation.
Book your place here.
