Funding an Apprenticeship
Essex Levy share scheme
Essex County Council have developed an Essex Apprenticeship Levy Transfer Service, in support of COVID-19 recovery to increase apprenticeship opportunities, via harnessing unspent levy across the county. The service provides an independent, fully managed levy transfer service including a website, led by ECC but partnering with local district and borough councils, FE colleges and providers in Essex, therefore growing a consortium of education providers to deliver the identified apprenticeships.
The service acts as a centre point for both funding pledges and requests and supports business to drive up apprenticeship numbers. The service aims to retain apprenticeship levy funding within the Essex economy and increase skills for the future within key sectors helping to boost inclusive growth, support individuals, develop core skills, resilience and health in the area.
Find out more about the Essex Apprenticeship Levy Transfer Service, read FAQs and look for opportunities over on their website: www.essexalts.co.uk. Alternatively, please contact Rob Brooks, Talent for Care Relationship Manager (Apprenticeships) at Health Education England, on rob.brooks@hee.nhs.uk.
