  • Pre-employment training and in-work mentoring support.
  • Practical help with securing permanent accommodation including access to a rental deposit of up to £3,000

SME employers can also access FREE impartial information and skills support through the TRANSFORM service, which could help you access funding to cover apprenticeship training costs. Find out more about the TRANSFORM programme here.
