AutoRaise is pleased to see the government’s latest budget announcement, including a £300 million investment in Further Education and an increase in the employment allowance to £10,500 for smaller employers. These measures signal a step forward in supporting skills development and creating a stronger foundation for apprenticeships across various industries, including our own.
While these initiatives provide valuable financial support, we also recognise that businesses continue to face challenges when it comes to funding apprentice salaries. To address these needs and drive even greater support for young talent, AutoRaise is exploring innovative strategies to encourage youth employment in our sector. We’re committed to finding ways to make the employment of apprentices more accessible and impactful for businesses, with further details to be announced as we approach our relaunch early next year.
If you’d like to discuss how the recent budget could impact your business, or to share your views on how we can further support apprenticeships in the industry, we’re here to listen. AutoRaise is dedicated to amplifying the voices of industry professionals in these discussions, advocating for solutions that will benefit our sector and its future workforce.
