Please click here for details of a £2,500 apprenticeship grant that will enable employers to offer new apprenticeship places for unemployed 16 and 17 year olds.  The grant is in addition to the costs of training, which are met by the National Apprenticeship Service. 

 As you will see the grant is available until the end of March and the South West Regional Employment and Skills Partnership are keen to encourage take-up in the South West.
