Why does my business need an apprentice?

Apprenticeships are, undoubtedly, the most financially compelling employment and training incentive. They are available to any employer, regardless of size, and in a variety of different industries and business settings. They can be used to attract new recruits as well as train existing members of staff.

Apprenticeship incentives for employers

Employers can benefit from the following incentives when taking on a new apprentice:
  • An additional incentive of £1,000 for every new apprentice appointed where they are aged 16 -18 (or 19-24 for care leavers). 
  • Where a business employs fewer than 50 employees, 100% of the Apprenticeship costs for learners aged 16-18 (or 19-24 for care leavers) are met by the Government.
  • There is no limit to the number of apprentices a business can take on.

Apprenticeships are hugely rewarding for both apprentice and employer. There are many benefits for employers:
​
  • ​The financial incentives outlined above. 
  • Free recruitment of only the best candidates for your organisation.
  • Retention of existing staff through investment in their development or through fulfilling a qualifications requirement.
  • Creating a structure for staff development that can be applied beyond apprenticeship staff.
  • For the learner, apprenticeships offer tailored off-the-job training and qualifications that act as the springboard for their future career.

How much will an apprenticeship cost me as an employer?

Levy paying employers
Small Businesses
Clients with an annual wage bill of over £3 million are classed as Levy paying clients.

Levy paying clients pay a percentage fee of their PAYE wage bill to fund approved Apprenticeship training and assessment.

The Government will top up the amount Levy employers pay into your Levy account by an extra 10% and will also fund 95% of any over-spend from their Levy account.

Find out more about 
how the Apprenticeship Levy works.

Knowing how to allocate Apprenticeship Levy monies to derive optimum benefit is an ongoing commitment. Learn more about how Access has helped the emh group and Nottingham Community Housing Association make best use of their Levy monies.
Small Businesses are those with an annual wage bill of below £3 million. At least 95% of the cost of approved Apprenticeship training and assessment will be paid by the Government, meaning employers in this category contribute only 5% of the cost. ​
