Education chiefs will reconsider failed bids to join the register of flexi-job apprenticeship agencies in an attempt to bolster its numbers.
The register was updated last month with 16 new names – but this was just over half the number of organisations that had applied to join.
In an update this week, the Department for Education said that any organisation which applied in September 2022 but was rejected solely on financial health grounds would be reconsidered against “an additional test of sustainability”.
The department will contact organisations directly and there will be no need for the submission of additional information.
