This apprenticeship is delivered in partnership with HTP Training. Learning will be undertaken online and reviews and support will be provided by a coach through in person sessions.

These programmes are suitable for School or College Leavers who have a keen interest in a career in HR. This also may be suitable for career changers or graduates who wish to pursue an HR career.
