Warwickshire County Council

Almost 100 people have embarked upon apprenticeships this year through the County Council’s Levy Share programme, delivered by Warwickshire Skills Hub. The programme allows Warwickshire County Council to share part of its apprenticeship levy funds to help businesses take on apprentices by covering the full training costs associated with an apprenticeship. It gives the apprentices their first steps towards a fulfilling career and their employers the opportunity to grow and train their own talent from within. If you are a Levy Paying Business you can join us in supporting local Warwickshire businesses by donating a portion of your levy and help drive innovation, growth, and economic prosperity within our region.
