HM Treasury announces more funding for Apprenticeships in Budget 2021

As part of the HM Treasury Budget 2021, Rishi Sunak announced an additional £126 million for traineeships in England. This doubles the apprentice incentive payments that are given businesses to £3,000 for all new hires, of any age.
