Increased Apprenticeship funding for non-levy paying employers

The UK government is now funding 100% of apprenticeship training costs for non-levy employers for apprentices aged 16-21! This is a fantastic opportunity to invest in your workforce development, at a minimal cost. Level 2 & Level 3 Pharmacy Apprenticeships:

• 0% co-investment for apprentices under 22!
• Only 5% for those over 22.

For non-levy payers, our expert team can assist you in exploring levy pledges. These pledges allow levy-paying employers to transfer a portion of their unused apprenticeship levy funding to other organisations.

Contact the team for funding information.
