What are Apprenticeships?

Apprenticeships are a government initiative that allow working professionals to access learning and development opportunities that are funded by the apprenticeship levy.

Employer Eligibility

Every employer in England can access the apprenticeship levy, whether they pay into it or not.

Employers who do not pay into the levy can still access the funds. They will be asked to make a small contribution to the cost of the training. The employer pays 5% directly to their chosen training provider, and the government will pay 95%.

Employer & apprentice commitment

Employer support is essential to apprentice success. Employers must provide six hours per week for off-the-job training during working hours, along with the resources to build required skills. Crucially, apprentices also need on-the-job opportunities to practice these new skills to reach full competency.
