With over £3.3 billion of unspent apprenticeship levy funds returned to the treasury, use it before you lose it!
Your school may already be contributing to the apprenticeship levy, but if it’s not being used, that funding is simply returned to the Treasury. Instead, it could be invested in recruiting and developing enthusiastic, high-quality support staff. Discover how apprenticeship funding works and how your school can make the levy work for you.
