Apprenticeship starts in Bradford suffer huge drop off | Bradford Telegraph and Argus

THE number of apprenticeships started by people in Bradford has dropped to the lowest level since a Government shake-up of the system, figures show. Department for Education data shows people living in the city started 3,110 apprenticeships in the 2019-20 academic year. That was down 23 per cent from 4,030 in the previous year, and a 42 per cent fall from the 5,350 in 2016-17, when the apprenticeship levy - a tax larger businesses pay towards a national fund for the training of apprentices - came into effect. Additionally, small businesses in Bradford – those with fewer than 50 employees – took on 30 per cent of apprenticeship placements in 2019-20, compared with 40 per cent in 2016-17.

Bradford business triples staff numbers despite pandemic | Bradford Telegraph and Argus

Save Co Cash & Carry staff at work, above A BRADFORD supermarket which made the switch to digital has tripled the number of staff working for the business since the start of the pandemic. SaveCo Online, the e-commerce arm of Save Co Cash & Carry on Thornbury Road, is the latest expansion drive of the third generation family business with a 50 year history in Bradford. Launched in the spring of last year amid the first peak of the pandemic, the online supermarket grew rapidly, delivering groceries and fresh meat to customers across the UK. With staff numbers now three times what they were at launch and rising, the business told the T&A that it has found a niche - serving customers who either cannot find certain products in the larger supermarkets or find it difficult to book delivery slots.
