£25m funding for 16-18 apprenticeships

The funding will be used to support and encourage the growth of apprenticeships and is part of the government’s wider aim to achieve three million high quality apprenticeship starts by 2020.

The £25 million figure will add to the £67.8 million which has already been awarded to 19+ apprenticeship and the £11 million for 19+ traineeships in December 2015. The additional money brings the overall investment to over £100 million.
