The Chartered Insurance Institute has launched an apprenticeships guide to support firms wanting to take on apprentices.

The guide was launched today at the Apprenticeships in Financial Services Conference.

The CII said the guide provides step-by-step information on running an apprenticeship scheme in the wake of the new changes to the framework.

It also offers advice and tips for employers on how to implement a successful apprenticeship.

The guide covers the upcoming apprenticeship levy, due for implementation in April 2017, and the new trailblazer apprenticeships – sector-specific apprenticeships based on standards developed by employers in that sector.

CII chief executive Sandy Scott said: “The apprenticeship landscape is undergoing a lot of change with the introduction of trailblazers and, in 2017, the levy.

“It is important that employers are able to navigate this new world. The CII is committed to supporting firms across insurance and financial services, with the publication of our employers’ guide and the creation of our Apprenticeship Unit.”

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
