Welcome to All About Apprenticeships, presented by award-winning business journalist Georgie Frost, and brought to you by the HomeServe Foundation.

In episode one we go back to basics to find out what an apprenticeship in 2020 looks like, how they have changed, how they've been impacted by Brexit and Covid, why apprenticeships are so important and what the government is doing to support apprentices and employers.

To answer all those questions and more, Georgie is joined by Tim Smith, director of policy at Whitehat, Laura Burley, the apprenticeship ambassador at the Open University and Anna Morrison CBE, who is the founder and CEO of Amazing Apprenticeships.

We also catch up with Richard Harpin, the CEO of HomeServe, to find out why apprenticeships are so important to him and why he decided to set up the HomeServe Foundation.
