Apprenticeships in care and logistics will receive a “substantial” funding boost from today, the skills minister has announced.
Speaking at the Association of Employment and Learning Providers’ national conference this morning, Robert Halfon announced that funding for the level 2 adult care worker and level 3 lead adult care work apprenticeship will both increase from £3,000 to £4,000.
Funding for the heavy vehicle service and maintenance apprenticeship will increase by a third to £20,000 from £15,000.
This comes following the launch in January of an exceptional funding band review for a selection of priority apprenticeship standards. See table below for the full list of funding changes following the review.
