Opportunities for recruiting and upskilling

Would you benefit from £3,000 for upskilling or recruiting young employees?

With government covering nearly all the training costs this is an opportunity for your business.

With free guidance, support and impartial advice to assist your business in how apprenticeships can be utilised to their greatest benefit for the whole workforce, current and future, this is a great opportunity to get involved.

This opportunity is being funded by Lancashire County Council with 100 grants available to businesses with fewer than 250 employees in Lancashire’s growth sectors, who have not recruited an apprentice in the last two years.

The funding is part of Lancashire’s Economic Recovery and Growth Fund and is targeted at the recruitment of 16-24 year old apprentices.
