Developing your workforce with apprenticeships

On 13 February  BMet will be hosting an event designed specifically for the SME market to explore how the latest government policy and Apprenticeship levy will affect your business. The session will also include briefings from leading legal and financial advisors to help firms understand any changes within employment law or financial benefits for firms engaging in an apprenticeship programme.

The Apprenticeship levy will be introduced in early 2017 in order to help fund plans for 3 million apprentices in UK businesses by 2020. It will apply to all large companies with a payroll of £3 million and above, to a value of 0.5% of the total company payroll. The levy will be a mandatory payment – if a company doesn’t use the money for their own training purposes then it will be used to support funding for apprenticeships in the SME business community.

The questions that we will be addressing include:

  • What is the levy?
  • Who has to pay the levy?
  • How can I still develop my firm’s apprenticeship programmes?
  • What type of apprenticeship programmes are there for my business?
