The Remit Training podcasts for #NAW2025 will explore important themes that should drive growth in the flagship skills programme including:
- Changes in the apprenticeship landscape and how large employers are adapting
- Building progression through apprenticeships, creating leaders and nurturing talent

- Addressing digital skills gaps within the workforce and utilising AI
- The value of investing in apprentice academies.
The large employers and Remit Training as an Ofsted ‘outstanding’ provider will explain how they work together to maximise return from the apprenticeship levy and often add commercial skills training to an apprentice’s programme to create further value.
Remit Training CEO Sue Pittock OBE said,
“National Apprenticeship Week 2025 presents an ideal opportunity to showcase how apprenticeships deliver results and Remit Training is really proud to partner with an amazing group of employers who want to turn tailor-made talent into apprenticeship success stories.
“The government will be rolling out changes to apprenticeships in 2025 with the new Growth and Skills Levy and our podcasts will anticipate how employers and young people can take advantage.”
