AI apprenticeships for the public sector train officers and analysts to build AI workflows for casework, service demand, reporting and data analysis, safely and within governance. They are levy funded, so departments build lasting AI capability against their own services rather than buying one off training.

What apprentices build for public sector & local government

Five workflows public-sector teams ship inside a TESS apprenticeship, every learner builds against synthetic data first, real data inside your AI governance second.

Services

Citizen-services demand forecasting

Apprentices build forecasts for adult social care, children's services and waste, sharper service planning, fewer surprises.

Casework

Case triage & routing automation

NLP on incoming case data to route to the right team, reducing first-response times on common case types.

Procurement

Spend analytics & contract leakage detection

Apprentices build pipelines that catch off-contract spend and contract under-utilisation, typical savings of 3–6% of addressable spend.

Workforce

Workforce planning & agency reduction

ML over rota and absence data to forecast staffing gaps earlier, reducing agency exposure.

Engagement

Engagement analytics on consultations & FOIs

Theme extraction across consultation responses and complaints, gives policy teams a fast read on public sentiment.
