The levy will cover the Training Provider’s costs of apprenticeship training for either new or existing employees. An apprenticeship will only be suitable when the employee has a requirement to acquire NEW skills. For example:
- A recently appointed member of staff doesn’t have all the skills or knowledge needed for their role.
- A role has changed as a result of a restructure/re-deployment and requires additional skills and knowledge to meet operational requirements.
- An employee would like to enhance their skills and gain a new qualification to progress as part of their agreed personal development.
- An employee requires a qualification as part of new statutory or regulatory requirements.
