Following the government’s recent apprenticeship funding announcement, training for eligible 16–24-year-old apprentices is now fully funded for employers, whether large or small. Available from 1 August, this gives businesses a valuable opportunity to recruit new apprentices or develop existing young employees with funded training support.
This funding can help businesses invest in future talent,
build skills around real workplace needs and give young people the opportunity
to gain experience, confidence and recognised qualifications while working.
Apprenticeships are a practical way for employers to address
skills gaps, support workforce planning and develop people who understand the
needs of the business from the start. They can be used to recruit someone new
into the organisation or to upskill an existing employee who is ready to
progress.
For young people, an apprenticeship provides the opportunity
to earn while they learn, gain hands-on workplace experience and develop the
skills needed to build a long-term career.
Poultec Training supports employers with apprenticeship training across a range of roles, from business administration and customer
service to project management, quality and other sector-specific positions. Our
team provides apprentice recruitment support, funding guidance, flexible training
delivery and ongoing learner support, helping businesses understand eligibility
and identify suitable apprenticeship routes for new recruits or existing
employees.
With training costs covered for eligible 16–24-year-old
apprentices, now is a strong time for employers to explore how apprenticeships
could support their future workforce.
