Welsh Government has invested a further £18.7 million to extend incentives to support businesses in recruiting apprentices in Wales.
The Employer Incentive Scheme, which will now run until 30 September 2021, is a key part of Welsh Government’s covid commitment to support businesses and workers in recovering from the impacts of coronavirus (COVID-19).
This means businesses will be able to claim up to £4,000 for each new apprentice they hire under the age of 25. This is an uplift from the previous £3,000 grant that was on offer.
The £4,000 incentive will be available to businesses that are employing a young apprentice for at least 30 hours per week.
Welsh businesses could also receive £2,000 for each new under 25 year old apprentice they employ for less than 30 hours a week, which is an increase of £500.
