How does funding work?
The Multi-Channel Marketer apprenticeship has a total cost of £11,000. However, before you have a panic attack, here’s the exciting part: There are different ways of funding apprenticeships depending on your organisation. There are two primary routes for funding: Co-Investment and Levy Contributions.
Smaller non-profits
If your organisation has an annual wage bill of less than £3 million, you’ll be entitled to a staggering 95% discount on the total cost of the apprenticeship. That’s right—95%! This is because the UK government will cover 95% of the programme’s total cost if you’re classified as a smaller organisation (fewer than 50 employees).
But wait, there’s more. If your organisation has fewer than 50 employees and you hire someone aged 21 or younger, the UK government will actually cover 100% of the costs. That’s right—the full £11,000!
Think that’s everything? Not quite. If you hire someone aged 16–18, the government will also pay you a £1,000 incentive for doing so.
Larger non-profits
If your organisation boasts an annual wage bill exceeding £3 million, legal obligations come into play, meaning you have to pay Levy Contributions. This entails setting aside 0.5% of this sum into a designated fund, which is utilised for financing training and development initiatives within your business, including the hiring and training of apprentices.
Crucially, it’s worth noting that failing to utilise these funds within 24 months results in their forfeiture. Astonishingly, thousands of businesses forfeit these funds every year.
