You'll be given guidance explaining how to set up the apprentice fund transfer. The money doesn't go to the agency or worker — it's ring-fenced to the training provider for when they draw it down.
Requests will be sent to you for consideration. Respond to the email to confirm you wish to support that opportunity. If you decline, it will be sent to the next pledge.
Once the transfer has taken place, we'll aim to create a case study and testimonial for use on our websites.
