Support for Employers – Apprenticeships and Industry Placements

The Education & Skills Funding Agency has published a series of resources to support employers to take on apprentices and offer industry placements.

The resources include:

• A one-pager that lists all the current incentives available to employers, such as the Kickstart Scheme, traineeships and industry placements.
• A one-page document that dispels common myths about apprenticeships.
• A presentation about traineeships covering recent changes to the programme, benefits for employers and young people, and diversity and social mobility.
• A website to help employers offer industry placements. Support includes case studies, toolkits and webinars.
