The apprenticeship landscape is changing. There are several significant funding and policy updates being introduced over the coming months.

During the session, we'll cover:

  • New employer recruitment incentive payments
  • Changes to funding for levy and non-levy employers
  • Co-investment and levy account updates
  • Funding reservation requirements
  • Changes relating to Apprenticeship Units
  • New DBS requirements for programmes from 2027
  • The latest position on programmes that include a Level 7 qualification within a Level 6 apprenticeship standard
  • Opportunities to ask questions and discuss how the changes may affect your organisation.
