About
Greater Manchester Combined Authority awarded a contract to The Growth Company for the development of a package of support measures for non-Levy paying employers across the city region, aimed at creating additional high-quality apprenticeship opportunities.
The contract follows the end of the devolved AGE grant, with approximately £1.98m underspend from a total grant of £12.2m to be spent by end of March 2019 on original grant purposes, enabling the Combined Authority to vary financial support for different learner types, business sizes, and subject areas.
The initiative was agreed by DfE in March 2018, approved by GMCA for further development in June 2018, and formed part of the strategic direction for Apprenticeships in GM set out in the July 2018 WLT paper.
The contract value is AUD 35,000.
