Latest update from the Apprenticeship Hub

There is plenty going on in the world of apprenticeships right now and in schools specifically, there has never been more take up of apprenticeship training since ‘modern’ apprenticeships returned roughly a decade ago, which is fantastic!

We've pulled together some useful information for schools, whether you are already engaged with apprenticeships, or yet to be. The attached update includes:

• an update on apprenticeship levy funds  - as of April 2019, any unspent levy funds from two years previous will expire and be deducted from levy accounts for all levy paying employers

• apprenticeships available for school employees

• details of the apprenticeship training providers currently contracted to deliver apprenticeships for WCC schools

Also, don't forget it is National Apprenticeships Week from 4th to 8th March so take this opportunity to share your involvement on social media using the hashtag #Fireitup, or perhaps take the chance to promote apprenticeships among students as a route to employment and a first career step.

Further help, advice and support

The Apprenticeship Hub at Warwickshire County Council will be happy to support you and your school with advice and information about apprenticeships and the apprenticeship levy. We can help you to choose a training provider, promote your apprenticeship vacancies, and enable you to pay for apprenticeship training via the levy if you are a maintained school.
