The academy has been developed to offer employers practical support in the delivery of training and qualifications with the aim of raising skills levels across the sector. It acts as a link between employers and training providers, recruiting candidates to programmes, piloting new schemes and accessing available funding to support trainees. The Virtual Academy is a standalone model developed by employers and Asset Skills without recourse to public funding. The Virtual Academy Membership comprises employers in business services across the UK. Details of its services can be found in the online prospectus here. |
