Full government funding from the 1st April 2024 for SME’s who recruit an apprentice up to the age of 22.

This means that companies no longer have to pay the 5% towards the cost of the apprenticeship if their learner is 19+.

As long as the company is an SME and has under 49 staff they will be eligible for this.

This is also advertised on FE Week if you require further information.
