4 Apprenticeship Levy and Funding 5 Steps to Recruiting Your Next Apprentice Now that the Apprenticeship Levy is in place, all UK employers with a payroll of more than 3 million per year will be required to invest 0.5% of their annual salary bill into apprenticeships. The new government scheme is targeted with funding three million apprenticeships by 2020 by improving the quality of training provision and in turn, the quantity of apprentices and the number of employment opportunities. We can support you in utilising your Apprenticeship Levy with high class training for your apprentices at our state of the art facility and allowing access to the latest new and emerging technologies. If you have exhausted your Apprenticeship Levy, you can enter a co-investment agreement where you can still benefit from our high class training with a 10% contribution towards the training costs.
