Thirteen specially selected apprenticeships will receive a £3,000 per-apprentice funding boost from April, the Treasury has announced.
This is part of a two-year £50 million pilot for certain apprenticeships in what Treasury ministers deem are “growth sectors” and will mean some apprenticeships will attract up to £30,000 per apprentice.
The chosen standards include laboratory technician, science manufacturing technician and machining technician. See the table below for the full list.
The extra cash will come on top of usual funding bands but training providers will need to deliver a minimum of 15 starts to access it.
