Flexi-job Apprenticeship Grant Fund

Flexi-Job Apprenticeship Grant Fund

This award notice relates to grant funding to support the start-up, development or diversification costs of new flexi-job apprenticeship agencies, or existing Apprenticeship Training Agencies (ATAs) who wish to become a flexi-job apprenticeship agency.

Funding will: - support the start-up, development or diversification of flexi-job apprenticeship agencies allowing employers of all sizes to benefit from high-quality apprenticeships that are relevant and responsive to their skills needs and economic priorities. - allow organisations to overcome barriers to the use of apprenticeships in their sectors caused by non-traditional and project-based employment models. - increase starts in sectors where non-traditional and project-based employment models have made it harder for employers to engage with apprenticeships. - drive quality experiences for apprentices, with corresponding improved achievement rates, resulting in positive outcomes for apprentices in terms of onward destinations in employment and training. - support the progression of apprentices into sustainable employment or self-employment (mirroring the norm for their sector or profession)
