IN July 2020 Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced a Government incentive scheme that was designed to encourage businesses to recruit new apprentices.
Organisations could qualify for an up to £3,000 cash bonus if they took on a new apprentice before the end of January 2021. In the recent spending review, the deadline was extended to the end of March 2021.
It is surprising that not many employers know about the incentives available to businesses if they take on an apprentice. There is a pot of money available to support and encourage apprentice recruitment as part of the jobs scheme.
