Identify where future apprenticeship opportunities may exist. InsightU helps you explore demand, competition, growth trends, skills supply and emerging areas of activity to support more targeted planning.

Review the wider provider landscape and understand who is active in your markets. Compare provider activity, market position, quality indicators and delivery patterns to better understand competition and areas of relative strength.

Use evidence on demand, standards, technical routes, provider activity and market trends to support curriculum review and future planning. InsightU helps universities identify where provision may need to grow, adapt or be reviewed.

Explore how apprenticeship demand and delivery vary across different geographies, from local districts and LSIP areas through to regional and national patterns of provision. Review activity by sector, route, standard, level and provider type to understand market size, trends and delivery patterns.

Connect apprenticeship provision with labour market demand, occupational need, sector priorities and local community context. Use LMI and socio-economic insight to consider how provision aligns with local skills needs.

RCU were excellent at listening to LSBU’s requirements and developing InsightU around our needs. The platform has had a real impact on our market positioning and apprenticeship offer.
