What is the Employer Incentive Scheme?

The Apprenticeship Employer Incentives offer financial support to recruit individual/s into employment, supporting the development of a workforce that is able to meet changing business needs.

There are a number of different incentives:

• Up to £4,000 for each new apprentice recruited aged under 25
• Up to £2,000 for each new apprentice recruited aged 25 and over
• Up to £2,600 for the employment of a redundant apprentice to allow them to compete their training, irrespective of age
• £1,500 for each new disabled apprentice recruited, irrespective of age

This support is available for employees who have a contract of employment start date with the employer and an apprenticeship agreement between 01 August 2020 and 30 September 2021(inclusive).
‍
Eligible employers will be able to claim payments for a maximum of 10 apprentices. If an apprentice leaves after the 4 weeks have elapsed, this apprentice will still count against the maximum recruitment of 10 apprentices.
