Great to start 2026 by brushing the snow off of the #ApprenticeshipKlaxon and revealing not 1 but 4 apprenticeship opportunities with our friends at #RhoticMedia looking to train folk through a #CMI approved Chartered Manager #Degree #Apprenticeship.

Sales Manager Apprenticeship – Find an apprenticeship – GOV.UK

We’ve introduced a new way to find and apply for an apprenticeship in England.

Our #DataScience Degree #Apprenticeship really is a gem hiding in plain sight

I just pulled some stats about it and realised that, of all the people who have graduated from it, no one has got less than a 2:1 and most people (86%) get a First class Honours degree!

What's more, the QAR (Qualification Achievement Rate) is running at 83.3% (against a sector average of 70.1%).

This incredible programme is available to nearly all businesses in #England effectively for free!

A double toot on the #ApprenticeshipKlaxon today for a fantastic #vacancy with our friends at Agilia Infrastructure Partners.

The successful candidate will join our #ProjectManager Degree Apprenticeship programme, netting themselves a BSc (Hons) Project Management degree and recognition from the Association for #ProjectManagement too.

It's a fairly short deadline for applications, so get in quickly, I think this one is going to be an amazing opportunity for someone!

My initial feeling is that these aren't actually all bad, rather they are some useful nudges to help the system operate as intended, but the proof of the pudding will be in the eating, as ever!

Budget 2025: SME co-investment relief extended to under 25 apprentices

The government is set to scrap co-investment payments that small and medium-sized employers have to pay for apprentices under the age of 25.

FE Week
On the flip side we get a removal of the 10% 'top-up' to levy payments, a reduction in the expiry time on levy funds (from 24 to 12 months) and a change to the co-investment set up for levy-paying firms who spend all of their levy funds, where the subsequent co-investment support will now be 75% of course costs, rather than 95%)

Some interesting 'below the fold' #budget details around #apprenticeships.

As always, the good news is there to help the less good news go down more smoothly. 100% funding for non-levy paying employers with apprentices under 25 is a great thing (both for the small employers who benefit and to curb large levy-paying firms claims of 'creating apprenticeships' simply by not spending their levy and offering it for transfer instead).
