The Minister for Skills has written to Skills England about the apprenticeship funding bands reviews. This review aims to ensure that apprenticeship funding is allocated effectively. The review will look at the current funding bands and make recommendations for any changes. This could impact the way apprenticeships are funded in the future.
Apprenticeship Funding Review

Public-sector hiring right now
GovJobs is tracking 11,336 open public-sector vacancies today, 6,557 of them added in the past seven days. Across the adverts that publish a salary, the median advertised starting figure is £32,909.
The organisations recruiting most heavily right now are Ministry of Justice (198), Highland Council (195), Leicestershire County Council (172) and East Sussex County Council (126).
Geographically the roles cluster in Scotland (1,715), North West (1,634), South East (1,210), London (1,127).
Training and apprenticeship routes are advertised alongside standard vacancies rather than separately, and often close earlier because intakes are fixed to a start date. Apply as early in the window as you can.
These figures are counted from the GovJobs index at the time you loaded this page, not from official statistics, and they change daily. They are our own analysis and are not part of the announcement summarised above.
