The ESFA has published a new guidance document outlining the changes to the way employers who do not pay the levy arrange their apprenticeships. This document outlines how non levy paying employers are now able to access the Apprenticeship Service to engage with apprenticeships and reserve funding.
There is support available for providers, including resources and tools to use with employers, to help their non levy paying employers to access the Apprenticeship Service. You can contact jayne.boyd@nsar.co.uk for further information.
Comment on the publication which will more than double the number of providers with direct access to funding for non-levy payers is here with reports that a recent survey shows providers not able to fulfil demand from non levy employers.
