Caviar Workforce Growth
Unlock fully funded training. Future-proof your team. Grow your business.
Most small and medium-sized businesses don’t know they can access thousands of pounds in government-backed funding to upskill their teams. At Caviar, we help you unlock this opportunity through the Growth and Skills Levy (formerly the Apprenticeship Levy) — with no guesswork, no jargon, and no wasted time.
What’s the Opportunity?
Large UK employers are required to pay into a national training pot called the Growth and Skills Levy. If they don’t use those funds within 24 months, the money expires.
But here’s the opportunity:
- Levy-paying businesses can transfer unused funds to smaller organisations in their supply chain — and the government will also co-invest up to 95% of apprenticeship training costs for eligible businesses.
- That means you could access high-quality, accredited training for your existing team — covering everything from leadership to customer service to technical skills — without paying full price.
Why Upskilling and Reskilling Matters
The world of work is changing faster than ever — driven by technology, shifting customer expectations, and constant pressure to do more with less. In that context, the most valuable asset your business has is your people — but only if they’re equipped for what’s next.
- Upskilling helps your team deepen the skills they already use, becoming faster, smarter, and more confident in their current roles.
- Reskilling prepares them to shift into new or evolving roles — helping you adapt, grow, and stay competitive without relying solely on external recruitment.
This isn’t about ticking a training box. It’s about giving your team the tools to:
- Work more efficiently – saving time, reducing errors, and improving delivery
- Adapt to new tools and processes quickly – without needing constant oversight
- Deliver higher-quality results – especially in customer-facing or operational roles
- Step into new responsibilities – helping you scale without hiring delays
- Solve problems and spot opportunities – because they understand the business better
In short, when your people grow, your business gets stronger across every area — from service to systems to bottom-line results.
The most resilient, high-performing companies are already investing in skills development. We help you join them — using funding you likely didn’t know you had access to.
