Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

Members considered a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services regarding the City of London Corporation’s Apprenticeships Programme and the following points were made.

·         In response to a question from a Member, the Head of Adult Community Learning confirmed that apprentices for the City Open Spaces would be recruited into the July 2017 cohort of apprentices.

·         The Business Engagement Manager (Economic Development Office) noted that financial services firms paid 10% of the Apprenticeship Levy but only employed 3% of the total apprentices, so there was clearly some work to be done to increase that percentage.
