Funding for Third Sector apprenticeships

05/02/2010 New funding and support for Apprenticeships - recruit and train your potential managers of the future!

Register before the end of March to be one of 5,000 organisations to receive a £2,500 grant from the Government’s National Apprenticeship Service, to pay the wages of a young person aged 16 or 17 years taken on as an apprentice and offered on-the-job training.

Fair Train is a new network helping to get funding for apprenticeships in charities, social enterprises and other not-for-profit organisations by putting them in touch with providers of fair training for their young recruits.

To find out more and to register your interest in the funding, contact Fair Train at apprenticeships@fairtrain.org.
