Apprenticeship Levy Match Scheme Available to Third Sector Organisations

Leeds City Council’s Levy Match scheme which provides support for employers taking on apprentices is available for third sector organisations.

Organisations with a payroll of less than £3 million normally have to contribute 5% towards the cost of any apprenticeship training within their organisation. The Apprenticeship Levy Matching Service supports organisations to avoid having to pay this by applying for a levy transfer from a levy paying organisation.

Information on levy sharing may be found here and information on employer support can be found here. Useful information on apprenticeship wages, which confirms that the third sector can support those wishing to further their career may be found here. The contact page provides the details for contacting the team for advice and information about how organisations can apply for the scheme.
