Allocation of levy funding
Managers must view the available apprenticeship standards to understand if an apprenticeship is possible. They must also review the training requirements, such as:
- length of the qualification
- components
- qualification requirements
- ability to meet six hours off-the-job training
Managers must complete an apprenticeship training funding request form. This explains:
- the need for the role
- how it fits into the workforce priorities of the service area
- whether it is a potential existing employee or a new recruit
To confirm if funding is available, managers must submit approved request forms to talent@lincolnshire.gov.uk.
Where there is an over-demand for apprenticeship training, we will give priority to those posts classed as hard to recruit and retain. We will undertake an annual survey to determine this.
We will give the manager a catalogue of delivery plans relevant to the training request.
The manager will evaluate the delivery plans to select the most suitable training. They must send the completed evaluation to talent@lincolnshire.gov.uk.
The council's talent and early careers team will confirm:
- selection
- details of the training provider
They will arrange for the training provider to contact the manager to progress the training selected.
The talent and early careers team will undertake all contractual management of the apprenticeship.
