From April 2017 Hampshire County Council is paying a Government levy for apprenticeships of 0.5% of our payroll.  Our aim over the coming years is to recoup this levy by investing in the training and assessment of appropriate apprenticeships to support our strategic plans and invest in our people. 

Never has there been a better time to consider all job roles and assess the potential for apprenticeships to add value to the learning and development pathways. Our aim is to utilise apprenticeships to help provide the skills we require now and in the future for both new and existing staff of all ages. This aim is supported by our Apprentice First policy.

This portal is designed to provide the information you will require to help you to understand all aspects of apprenticeships and to guide you through the process of enrolling a team member onto an apprenticeship using funding from the levy to pay for the training and assessment costs.

This site is continually evolving and so all feedback is welcomed.  Please provide any comments on anything else that would be useful to hampshire.futures@hants.gov.uk marking your email title as LEVY.
