Apprenticeships - the7stars foundation

The7stars foundation is offering funding to charities, CICs, Schools, Nurseries and Children’s Homes to offer apprenticeship training for their staff, which will result in support and benefit to young people challenged by the issues we prioritise.

The funding offered through this programme covers the employer contribution relating to the apprenticeship training for their staff. This is typically 5% of the apprenticeship training programme. Our funding is available to non-levy paying employers.

Please read here for more information on the Government’s apprenticeship training programme, and the related subsidisation offered by the Government. We will endeavour to review and provide a funding decision within a month of application submission.

Who should apply?

Fully funded apprenticeships (up to and including Level 4) for UK registered charities, CICs, Schools, Nurseries or Children’s Homes
Training must support roles which then create impact for young people facing the challenges we prioritise
Our funding is available to non-levy paying employers, meaning no 5% co-investment required – making it easier for applicants to hire new talent or upskill existing staff at no cost

Please note: We cannot advise you on the Apprenticeship training initiatives offered by the Government. Please consult with your learning provider for further information.
