Apprenticeship Levy Transfer

The apprenticeship levy is already giving us the opportunity to invest in high-quality training, helping to recruit and develop employees to get the future skills needed to thrive and succeed.

As a levy-paying employer we can transfer up to 25% of our annual Apprenticeship Levy funds to other employers, helping to boost the number of high-quality apprenticeships across the county.

Who can apply to receive Apprenticeship Levy Transfer?

We're able to transfer levy funds to other employers for new apprenticeship starts for either new recruits or existing employees wanting to develop their skills by undertaking an apprenticeship. We're not able to transfer funds for apprenticeships which have already started.

Receiving employers should be Telford employers or organisations that deliver services in Telford. Transferred Levy funds can only be used for approved apprenticeship training costs and cannot be used to fund salaries or other employee costs.

To express an interest and submit your application for consideration in the transfer of Apprenticeship Levy funding you must be:

• in the third / charity sector based in Telford and Wrekin
• in the third / charity sector supporting people who live and work in Telford and Wrekin
• a small to medium enterprise / business based in Telford and Wrekin
• a small to medium enterprise / business who employs and / or works with people who live and work in Telford and Wrekin.

We're expecting a high level of demand for support and our levy funds are limited. Therefore, in developing a process for determining who to support, priority will be given to applications that meet our priorities and target sectors detailed in the Apprenticeship Levy Transfer policy.
