two.1.4) Short description
In February 2022 we launched our new Register of Flexi-Job Apprenticeship Agencies. Flexi-Job Apprenticeship Agencies help employers overcome structural barriers to making greater use of apprenticeships. They support businesses in all sectors to make a sustainable investment in the skills they need to grow and build a diverse talent pipeline for the future.
We will be inviting applications from 28th April 2023 for more organisations to become Flexi-Job Apprenticeship Agencies and we will be running a webinar on Tuesday 9th May at 12pm-1pm to explain the purpose of Flexi-Job Apprenticeship Agencies, what organisations need to do to apply to become an agency and to cover some of the key information found within our published guidance documents. To register for the webinar, please email FlexiJob.AGENCIES@education.gov.uk
Any organisation who wants to deliver apprenticeships, via a model where they place apprentices with host employers for the majority of their apprenticeship, must apply in this window. We have no plans to open an application window again after this time.
