Apprenticeships - £2000 Grant for Employers
£2000 Grant for Employers
- Are you an employer employing less than 50 people?
- Could you benefit from a grant of £2000?
- Can you support a young person in an Apprenticeship?
If you employ up to 50 members of staff and are looking to take on people aged between 16 and 18 who find themselves unemployed, you could benefit from the Apprenticeship Grant for Employers (AGE).
The Grant of £2000 is given to any employer* offering a new apprenticeship place and which then takes on an unemployed 16, 17, or 18 year old immediately. In the addition to the Grant, the costs of appropriate training will be met by the National Apprenticeship Service (NAS). NAS also helps employers find a suitable training provider to deliver the training programme and to recruit an apprentice.
You have to be quick, though - the Grant is only available until 14 March 2011.
To be eligible for the Grant employers must employ fewer than 50 people and be willing to take on a 16-18 year old as an apprentice. Either the organisation or the apprentice must be based in the East Midlands. All 16-18 year olds who are not in employment and not already on an apprenticeship programme are eligible and will need to have been recruited and in work before the middle of March 2011.
*Subject to eligibility criteria.
