Apprenticeship Grant & Bursary Choices for Employers

Automate BEST has been introduced to champion rising talent and help businesses succeed in the fast-changing engineering sector. As part of this mission we offer a limited number of apprenticeship grants and bursaries throughout the fiscal (tax) year.

As a non-levy paying company looking to bring on an apprentice for the first time you can access a grant of £2,000 to cover any additional costs and apprentice support*.

Apply for the Automate BEST Employers Support Grant

While you can apply for multiple apprentice grants, only one company payment will be applied.

Please send the completed application form to info@automate-best.org

*This grant is only available on your first apprentice application and is a one-time grant*

Read more about the grants and bursaries for apprentices on the Grants for Apprentices page.

Further Support & Guidance

We offer additional guidance and advice for companies embarking on the apprenticeship journey. You can access a range of further support, with signposting to organisations working in collaboration with Automate BEST.
