Co-investment
The arrangement where an employer without sufficient levy funds pays a share of the training cost and government pays the rest.
In full
Where an employer does not have levy funds to cover an apprenticeship, government meets a published proportion of the cost and the employer pays the remainder.
Some employers are exempt from the employer contribution in defined circumstances. The proportions and the exemptions are set out in the funding rules for the year.
Where this comes up
diagnostic
An apprentice is on the ILR but is not generating any payments
The apprentice exists on the ILR and looks correct, but no earnings are being generated for them. Apprenticeship funding depends on the ILR and the apprenticeship service agreeing, so a record that is perfect in one and absent or different in the other produces nothing.
module
Apprenticeship funding: price, band, service and evidence
A price negotiated with each employer, capped by the band maximum, paid monthly with a completion element, and dependent on the ILR and the apprenticeship service agreeing.
