This support is available for any organisation, so if you are an employer, don´t miss out this great opportunity!
Incentive payments for hiring a new apprentice are available for any organisation, no matter the size or the sector. The important thing is that you hire an apprentice who:
- is new to your organisation
- starts their contract of employment and their apprenticeship between 1 August 2020 and 31 January 2021
See the employer guidance here
Get up to £2,000 for each new apprentice
For apprentices aged:
- 16 to 24, employers will receive £2,000
- 25 and over, employers will receive £1,500
Employers can spend the payment on anything to support their organisation’s costs, from facilities and travel to uniforms and salaries. This is in addition to the £1,000 payment to help employers meet the needs of some groups of apprentices in the workplace.
