Skills Pledge • So far we have signed up 45 new employers to the pledge; creating a database of 420+ businesses working across the Humber • Each business has signed at least one of the pledges to do something new or more than they are already doing • Most new business sign-ups are very interested in the SSW funding and Apprenticeship Support when they become available • We are asking that partners share the Skills Pledge information with companies they are working with for placements, work experience, employability, mentoring an entrepreneur or employing a graduate, to sign the skills pledge to enable more pledges and create growth • The microsite and map showing which businesses have signed up is in the process of change and updating.
