If you’re thinking about becoming an apprentice - or you're an employer wanting to take one on - here’s what you need to know about how funding works.
In Jersey, apprenticeship funding can be provided by the Government of Jersey to support the development of skilled professionals across a range of industries.
Funding is available to support apprenticeship training and assessment costs for individuals who meet certain eligibility criteria. In general, apprentices may be eligible if:
- The apprentice is ordinarily resident in Jersey
- The apprentice is aged 16 or over
- The apprentice is entering into a formal apprenticeship with a registered employer
- The apprenticeship is delivered through an approved training provider, such as Highlands College.
Funding is available for both new apprentices and those continuing their training into further stages.
Please note: The funding does not cover wages. Apprentice wages are paid by the employer, who enters into an agreement with the apprentice and the training provider.
