An apprentice can be a sustainable investment in skills to support your business as the economy recovers.
You can spend the incentive payment on anything to support your organisation’s costs, from facilities and travel to uniforms and salaries. This is in addition to the £1,000 payment the government already gives to help employers meet the needs of certain groups of apprentices in the workplace.
