Are you aware of the launch of the Foundation Apprenticeship in Engineering and Manufacturing, starting this August 2025? This is a fantastic opportunity for employers to bring fresh talent into their workforce while benefiting from substantial financial incentives.

Foundation Apprenticeships are aimed primarily at apprentices aged 16-21, with some eligibility for those aged 15 and 22-24 under specific conditions. The programme lasts a minimum of eight months, ensuring all apprentices are employed throughout the duration.

Why Should You Consider This?

• Employer Incentive: Receive a £1,000 payment for supporting apprentices aged 16-18, paid in two parts.
• Recruitment and Retention Incentives: Gain up to an additional £2,000 to aid in the recruitment and retention of apprentices. Part of this incentive is linked to apprentices progressing onto further apprenticeship programmes.

These incentives are designed to encourage the engagement and progression of young people in the workforce while providing financial support to employers. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to enhance your team with motivated and skilled apprentices!
