Apprenticeships and Long-Term Development Programmes

Happy's apprenticeship schemes are open to existing staff of any age, or we can help you recruit and support a new member of the team.

As an approved apprenticeship provider, all programmes can be funded through the Apprenticeship Levy or the government's co-investment scheme.

This course has been highly effective because it's not just another generic leadership programme. Its focus on the Global Majority made it uniquely impactful, allowing us to benefit from sharing our stories, building a sense of community, and offering moral support to one another. The course tutors, learning materials, and content were all excellent.

Personally, I was able to apply what I learned immediately, which helped me get shortlisted for multiple opportunities and secure two senior-level job offers. Additionally, I’ve incorporated the lessons into my daily work, particularly in areas like people management, strategic planning, and problem-solving.
