Apprenticeships - An Employer's Perspective


​Why take on an apprentice?


Apprenticeships are hugely rewarding for both apprentice and employer.

For you as the employer, it provides a welcome solution to the following challenges:
​
  • 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 apprentice, it offers 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. ​

Apprenticeship Service and Small Employers: What's Changing?

​
Apprenticeship incentives for employers

To encourage employers to recruit young people into their businesses and train them through Apprenticeships, incentives of £1,000 per 16 -18 year-old (and 19 - 24 year old care leavers) are available for all employers, regardless of size.

To support small employers with fewer than 50 employees, 100% of the Apprenticeship costs for learners aged 16-18 are met by the Government.
