Are you a Walsall-based business looking to recruit an apprentice or upskill your existing employees?

Walsall Council has launched its Apprenticeship Levy Transfer Scheme, providing funding to eligible employers across the borough to help cover apprenticeship training and End Point Assessment (EPA) costs.

Whether you’re looking to bring new talent into your business or develop the skills of your existing team, this could be a great opportunity to access additional funding.

Priority may be given to applications that:

  • Support young people aged 16 to 24
  • Create new jobs
  • Support under-represented groups
  • Address skills shortages
  • Promote career progression opportunities
  • Deliver positive outcomes for Walsall residents

 

Who can apply?

Employers based in, or trading within, the Walsall borough may be eligible for funding for future apprenticeship starts.

Find out more about the scheme and how to apply via the Walsall Council website:
