Are you a small or medium-sized business in Elmbridge? You may be able to get 100% funding for apprenticeship training.
This funding can help you recruit new staff or develop the skills of your existing staff, with no training costs for your business.
Each year, we pledge part of our apprenticeship levy to training costs to local small and medium-sized businesses. This gives opportunities for businesses and residents to access training.
Who can apply
To be eligible for skills boost funding, your business must:
- have a clear presence in Elmbridge - either located here, employing local people, or doing significant business in the borough
- be non-levy paying (not currently subject to the Government’s Apprenticeship Levy)
- cover the apprentice’s salary - funding only applies to training costs
- use the funding for new apprenticeship courses aligned with approved apprenticeship standards
- choose an Elmbridge based training provider, unless the course is not available locally
- employ apprentices for at least 30 hours per week, though part-time arrangements may be considered
- apply before training begins - funding cannot be backdated
For more information, please read the Elmbridge skills boost guidance notes.
