Information for employers to help manage the relationship between those sponsoring students and the CIPFA Education and Training Centre management team.
The issues faced by finance teams across the public sector are significant, from digital technologies, highly charged political contexts, regulatory reform, climate change and increased service demand.
When it comes to choosing an accountancy qualification, organisations and trainees alike have several options, but there is only one qualification designed specifically to help meet these challenges – the CIPFA Professional Accountancy Qualification.
CIPFA is uniquely placed to support employers and students to maximise the opportunities of using their apprenticeship levy – both in our capacity as a professional qualifying body, and as a government approved training provider.
Levy-funded apprenticeships are not only a cost-effective way of upskilling existing staff – they also bring fresh talent into your organisation, future-proof skills pipelines and broaden the diversity of your workforce. CIPFA offers the levy-funded Level 7 Accountancy Professional Apprenticeship, including study for the CIPFA Professional Accountancy Qualification.
To discuss how the programme can work for you, please email Victoria.davitt@cipfa.org or you can find further details about what is involved here.
Our dedicated employer support team can offer you advice and guidance on the following:
