The new football season is kicking off, and it’s not just on the pitch where future leaders are starting to emerge. ⚽

Some of the best leadership behaviours appear long before someone gets the job title.

Here are five signs you may already have an emerging leader in your team 👇

From September, government funding for new starts on the Level 3 Team Leader apprenticeship comes to an end. The need to develop your future managers doesn’t.

There will still be people in your team who need to develop practical management skills, whether they’re preparing for their first management role, starting to supervise others or taking on more responsibility.

That’s why we’ve introduced our new Level 3 Business Skills for Emerging Leaders Apprenticeship.

The programme combines practical business skills with leadership and management development through the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), including the opportunity to achieve Foundation Chartered Manager (fCMgr) status.

It’s designed for employees who are showing potential and are ready to develop the skills they’ll need to take that next step.

Learners develop practical skills in:
✅ Leadership and management
✅ Communication and influencing
✅ Planning and prioritisation
✅ Project coordination
✅ Problem-solving and continuous improvement
✅ AI and digital tools

Because developing future managers shouldn’t start when someone gets their first management title.

Giving people the right skills earlier can help them become ready to step up when the opportunity comes.
The funding route may be changing. Your leadership pipeline still matters - talk to us to find out more.

One of the best ways to improve marketing performance isn't always hiring new talent - it's developing the talent you already have.

The ability to lead people, prioritise budgets and connect marketing activity to business goals is what helps teams perform consistently.

Technical skills get marketers promoted. Leadership skills help them succeed. That's exactly what our Level 6 Marketing Manager apprenticeship is designed to develop.

The way people search for information is changing.
Many people now ask ChatGPT, Google AI or Copilot for answers rather than clicking through pages of search results. If your marketing team is still focused solely on traditional SEO, you could be missing opportunities to get found online.

The businesses that adapt first will be in a much stronger position to stay visible and attract new customers.

The question is: does your marketing team have the skills needed for this shift?

One of the biggest challenges in business:
We often promote great marketers into management roles and expect them to instinctively become strategic leaders.

They know how to create campaigns, manage social media and write content, but suddenly they’re expected to think strategically, influence stakeholders, manage budgets, lead people, and align marketing activity to wider business goals.

That’s exactly why programmes like the Level 6 Marketing Manager apprenticeship matter, helping experienced marketers develop into confident strategic leaders rather than simply expecting them to “figure it out” after promotion.

Because the difference between a good marketer and a strong marketing leader can completely change a business.

With recent changes to apprenticeship funding, many employers may need to rethink how they develop current and future managers.

If building leadership capability is part of your growth plans for 2026, it’s worth reviewing what funded options are still available and whether there is a need to secure places sooner rather than later.

Strong leadership pipelines do not happen by accident - they need planning.
