Build your business with funding to recruit new apprentices  

Hiring an apprentice doesn’t have to be costly. There are a range of funding options available and the amount businesses can benefit from will depend on whether they pay the apprenticeship levy or not.  

Employers will receive a £1,000 incentive for taking on an apprentice who is aged 16 to 18 years old or under 25 if they have an education, health and care plan (EHCP). T&Cs apply.  

This funding helps businesses to recruit and build a skilled and efficient workforce to boost productivity. We promote vacancies for free and our recruitment officers ensure they match and screen the best candidates to meet your job requirements. To recruit an apprentice, please get in touch on 01895 853780.
