Extra £5.7m secured to help 1,200 young people into apprenticeships across Liverpool City Region

Summary

Subject to approval at this month's Combined Authority meeting, the Department for Work and Pensions funding will support around 1,200 young people who are not in education, employment or training (NEET), providing additional help for those most at risk of missing out on opportunities.

It will fund the expansion of the City Region's successful Apprenticeship Brokerage service that's channelled more than £20m of unused Apprenticeship Levy from large employers including Liverpool Football Club, the BBC and Amazon into creating 2,800 apprenticeship starts at over 600 small and medium-sized businesses.
