    Fund Details

    Whether it’s hiring someone new or developing an existing employee, apprenticeships can help provide the skills your business needs.

    The Apprentice Employer Grant (AEG) is available to help you to recruit new Modern or Graduate Apprentices within your business. It can also help to upskill existing employees who have moved into a new role, as long as they have moved into the new job within 4 months from the date of registration of the apprenticeship. The apprenticeship must provide the means of upskilling for this new job.

    £5,000 will be made available for employers taking on a 16 to 24-year old apprentice, and for those aged up to 29 years who are either disabled, care leavers or Black and Minority Ethnic (BME)

    £3,500 will be made available for employers taking on an apprentice aged 25 or over
    Funding will be available for eligible employers where the apprenticeship start date was on or after 1st December 2020. Funding will be available for starts until 25th March 2021 or until funding levels are exceeded, whichever comes first.
