Most awards say an adult apprentice is someone who starts their apprenticeship when they’re 21 or older. They usually get paid higher rates than junior apprentices. If an apprentice turns 21 during their apprenticeship, they don’t get paid as an adult apprentice when they turn 21. For example, if an employee is 19 years old when they sign the training contract for their 4-year carpentry apprenticeship under the Building and Construction Award, they don’t become an adult apprentice when they turn 21 in the third year of their apprenticeship.

Attention Calderdale businesses: Did you know that you can access apprenticeship levy from larger businesses to pay for apprenticeship training costs? As a large levy-paying employer, we can transfer some of our apprenticeship levy funding to other employers to support their apprenticeship programme, helping to further boost the number of high-quality apprenticeships across Calderdale.   The funds can be used to develop new apprentices and for apprenticeship qualifications, which can help to develop existing employees.   Further information about our Apprenticeship Levy Transfer offer can be found on our Business Service page 👉 https://lnkd.in/eE5TPsgg
