We know that the Covid-19 outbreak has had a seismic effect on the economy, and that some apprentices have been made redundant without completing their apprenticeships, while others are at risk of redundancy. To help these apprentices the Department for Education have recently launched the Redundancy Support Service for Apprentices.
The service provides clear, accessible advice and guidance to individuals on the impact of redundancy, their options and next steps. There will also be opportunities to help redundant apprentices to identify new apprenticeship and employment opportunities, and, where they are eligible, complete their current apprenticeship.
The service is made up of three main elements:
If you’re an employer who would like to recruit a redundant apprentice or offer new apprenticeship opportunities, please email business@btc.ac.uk or 01278655111.
If you are aware of any apprentices who have been made redundant please encourage them to visit Facing redundancy during your apprenticeship.
