Let’s Talk Social Value - Season 1 Episode 4

Debbie Ryan, Group CEO, Impact Academy

In this episode of Let’s Talk Social Value, we are joined by Debbie Ryan, the Group CEO of Impact Academy. Give this episode a listen if you want to demystify apprenticeships and understand what support is available.

They are one of the government-registered apprenticeship training providers. They are delivering a whole range of apprenticeships, including some focusing on sustainability. So who better to ask about apprenticeships and how they can help create social value? 

Debbie guides us through the complexity of apprenticeships and makes it easy to understand. 

Debbie said, “Think of the apprenticeship as the wraparound training course around the individual. Rather than the individual. And that’s the best way to try and understand it. You can put your existing employees on an apprenticeship program. If you are a non-levy payer or a co-investment employer, you can have up to 10 apprentices at any time. So think about your existing staff. You don’t have to go and create new roles. Your CEO can be on an apprenticeship program.
