Incentive payments for hiring a new apprentice
To support employers, we’re increasing incentive payments for apprentices taken on as new employees from 1 April. You can view the details on GOV.UK.
Pass this information on to your members or networks to make sure they don’t miss out.
HOW WE MAKE INCENTIVE PAYMENTS |
We’ll make the payment in 2 equal instalments for each new apprentice employers hire. Find out more about how we’ll make incentive payments. HIRE EXPERIENCED APPRENTICE Employers taking on apprentices as new employees should consider hiring an apprentice who’s been made redundant. They already have lots of experience, skills and qualify for incentive payments. |
