The new Apprenticeship Levy The government from April are introducing an apprenticeship levy for all businesses. If the business has a payroll bill of £ 3 million+ then they will be paying into an online account through HMRC an agreed sum of money. For Businesses this means that they legally have to pay the Levy but if then they don’t employ apprentices that levy goes into a pot with HMRC and they lose it. Use it or lose it! What this means in real terms is that we will see in the next 12 months a rise in the availability of good quality/standardised apprenticeships at all levels. Butchers. Groundspeople, Greenkeepers, Retail, Lawyers, Nurses & Teachers, Social workers and Police officers all being available as apprenticeships. There is a framework in place to ensure that these apprenticeships have a standard format and that the training is delivered well by recognised training providers.

Young People’s Choices. • Think of your own careers and how many roles you have had, why do our young people need to choose now, what they want to be when they leave school? It is ok not to know! • Young people need up to date information so that they can make informed decisions/choices about their futures • Foundations /building blocks of study are what pave the way. • A firm grounding in Maths English and Science enable young people to build upon their transferable skills in the work place. • STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). • Instil aspirations/ambition in your loved ones and enable them to achieve the best they can.
