Apprenticeship Levy funds available to support training costs

Applications are open for care providers in Derby and Derbyshire for Apprenticeship Levy funds to help upskill their workforce.

The Government’s Apprenticeship Levy is a tax paid by employers. It is then stored in a fund which can be accessed to help pay for apprenticeship training costs. There is provision for this to be provided to other organisations, via a transfer. All primary and community care employing organisations can take advantage of this offer, irrespective of their size. 

Only organisations with a pay bill of more than £3 million pay the Levy so its transfer is a good way of enabling smaller employers, such as those in social care, to have access to funding for their learning and workforce needs.
