As for the suggestion that the Lords may have taken into account Senator Pinochet’s immunity or otherwise before the courts of Spain, I think it is safe to say that they did not, notwithstanding the confusion evident in Lord Millet’s brief outlier of a dictum.How apprenticeships can help close the skills gap
20 February 2025
Scott Barclay works as part of Acas's Communications whatsapp number list team. He is currently midway through his qualification and has recently worked on multiple articles for Acas's LinkedIn page.
My name is Scott and I am 9 months into an 18-month apprenticeship within the Acas Communications team. As an apprentice I'm considering available work opportunities and how the skills that I've picked up so far will support me in the future.
It so happens that the theme for National Apprenticeship Week this year is 'Skills for Life'. This is notable for its clear focus on reinforcing the idea that apprenticeships set up those that choose to do them for future success.
The Department for Education has chosen this theme to further emphasise the need for transferable skills. This is not only to benefit apprentices and the companies that operate them, but to strengthen the industries that are experiencing challenges as a direct result of lack of skilled employees here in the UK.
