REDDITCH businesses looking to take on an apprentice can now receive an extra boost, thanks to a grant scheme from the borough council.
Their £1,500 Apprenticeship Grant scheme from Redditch and Bromsgrove councils is open to businesses operating in Redditch and they can take on an apprentice of any age.
Priority will be given to applications from companies in manufacturing, digital/creative and IT, life and health sciences, construction, logistics’ leisure and tourism and the £1,500 grant should be applied for before the apprentice has been appointed. The grant can be used to support apprenticeship applications at any level, but priority will be given to Advanced Levels 3 and 4.
Grants meeting the eligibility criteria will be approved on a first come, first served basis subject to availability.
Companies applying should be less than 250 employees and located in Redditch borough, employing no more than two apprentices. The apprentices themselves should also be resident in the area.
