Apprentices: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much funding has been made available for apprenticeships for local authority planning staff since 4 July 2024; and whether her Department has made changes to the eligibility for that funding since that date.
Answered by Janet Daby
The department does not allocate apprenticeship funding to specific apprenticeship standards or industry sectors.
Employers, including local authorities, decide which apprenticeships they offer and when, and can then access funding for apprenticeships training and assessment costs.
The department has not made changes to how employers access funding for apprenticeships since July 2024.
