LUDLOW and south Shropshire businesses in the construction sector and its supply chain can benefit from the new Apprenticeship Levy if they know how.
The levy and how it works is the focus of Shropshire Constructing Excellence's first event of 2017 on Thursday, March 9.
The breakfast event, which will also cover business support available to the sector including a newly-launched £2.5m grant pot to help businesses extend or renovate commercial premises, is being hosted by The Lighting Industry Association at its HQ in Telford.
Keynote speaker is Dan Leech, managing director of TDS Midlands and the founder of the Cadcoe - the Construction and Design Centre of Excellence developed to address the UK's skills shortage.
The event is free to SCE members, both those new and renewing ahead of the event, by contacting teresa@shropshireconstruction.co.uk.
Non-members are welcome to attend at a cost of £20 per guest, with registration for all guests essential via Eventbrite, at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/so-what-does-the-new-apprenticeship-levy-mean-for-you-tickets-31839751554
