Congratulations to Warwickshire County Council who were recently awarded the best ‘Small Business friendly’ programme/campaign at the Federation of Small Businesses Local Authority Awards.
WCC put forward its Apprenticeship Levy Small Business Support Programme which promotes apprenticeship training.
The project was launched earlier this year and sees this council commit a fund of £300,000 annually through its own apprenticeship levy to be shared with small businesses to help fully fund apprenticeship training. It also allows the opportunity for businesses to recruit a supported young person with an apprenticeship work opportunity and will look to create at least 42 new apprenticeship places a year.
