Apprenticeship Service to SMEs Our aim is for all employers to take more ownership of their apprenticeship choices. This means we are transitioning to a programme whereby smaller employers (non-levy payers) will: - Take control of apprenticeship funding Transition to the apprenticeship service to access funding and manage their relationships with providers Current non-levy contracts extended from 1 April ‘ 19 to 31 March ‘ 20 Plans for implementing the non-levy employer ownership journey are in development and will be set out shortly. Our focus is to ensure a well managed transition to support providers and employers.

Smaller Employers Programme Timeline • May 2019 – Announced that all employers will be able to use the apprenticeship service • June 2019 – EOI launched to identify the first non-levy employers and training providers to test the apprenticeship service • Autumn 2019 - detailed timeline will be published • 2020 - Open the apprenticeship service to more employers and training providers
