We've been having an incredible time working with colleges and universities this year, helping them find new businesses to work with through educating employers.. Non-levy employers can receive 100% apprenticeship funding from the UK provided they meet (easy) criteria.. It's a simple message that has opened hundreds of doors for the companies we work with, if only businesses knew the benefits and funding available!! #apprenticeships #education #businessdevelopment

Apprenticeships work as a bridge between education and employment, offering a hands-on approach to learning that benefits both apprentices and employers. Employers can also benefit financially through a variety of government incentives and grants. Our latest blog discusses the financial side of hiring an apprentice and explains how employers can get government funding.

Small businesses are the backbone of the British economy and many take students straight out of High School to develop them into Chartered Accountants. There is currently a shortage of Accountants and a huge focus on putting money into disadvantaged areas to help provide more opportunities to working class students. Abolishing the Level 7 apprenticeship levy will remove all the positive progress made to drive the much needed change in the way education and places of work co-exist. Firms are desperate for employees and students are desperate for work with learning opportunities. Removing the levy will lead to a huge reduction in apprenticeship places, as firms simply won’t be able to afford the training and salaries necessary. This is despite the fact that investing in apprentices is beneficial in the long-run for businesses, as they then have qualified professionals who understand the standards required and culture of the workplace ready to apply for roles with more responsibility internally. From a financial point of view, the government will have to fork out even more money in student loans-as those who would’ve done apprenticeships will have no choice but to go to university. They likely won’t be earning enough to pay tax on wages received from part-time jobs whilst studying and will probably end up working in a job that doesn’t require them to have a degree anyway (whilst lacking the skills and experience to do the job they end up in). Removing the levy makes no sense any way you dress it up and will do huge damage to the future of Accountancy and other industries. It would cause most damage to the career prospects of working class students from disadvantaged communities. We’ve got to make sure the levy remains in place. #apprenticeships #level7apprenticeships #accounting

I have always felt privileged to work in a sector where I see people achieve their career goals, overcome challenges and celebrate what is a monumental effort to gain a professional qualification/higher level apprenticeship. By using apprenticeships, more individuals have had access to gaining career development opportunities. They have benefited from the support an apprenticeship provides and smaller employers have benefited from being able to provide this development for their staff. There is a constant narrative that the UK has a skills gap in many areas, so why take away funding that addresses this on so many levels? Kaplan UK's impact report based on a survey of over 1400 L7 apprentices and employers shows why Level 7 should be retained and the damage from not doing so: https://lnkd.in/eZWRcaRW

We’re excited by several new funding opportunities in UK apprenticeships for 2024/25, designed to simplify the work of Apprenticeship Providers. Key changes include reducing administrative tasks by eliminating the need for employers to sign off on each progress review. Learning support claims are now less cumbersome, with reviews every three months instead of monthly. Furthermore, the updated transfer policy gives levy-paying providers more freedom to use transfers for training. What do you think of the latest Apprenticeship funding rules?
