Employer Recruitment
As the New Year gets underway, employers will be keen to know that they can now get up to £2000 when they employ any young person as a Modern Apprentice, in addition to the funding contribution available towards their training. It would be great if you could share this news with your members.
We have created some web copy that you could upload to your website, and a draft Tweet, should this be a more appropriate communication channel for your contacts.
I hope you’ll find this useful in keeping your members up-to-date with developments that can help their businesses succeed. If we can support you in any other way to disseminate this news, please do not hesitate email us at
