<p>We are committed to supporting more employers to use apprenticeships to develop
the skilled workforces they need, and to support more people, from all backgrounds,
to benefit from the high quality training that apprenticeships offer.</p><p>To help
large employers make full use of their levy funds, we are making it easier for them
to transfer their unused funds and support new starters in other businesses, sectors
or regions. In September, we launched a new online service to allow levy paying employers
to advertise funding pledges, and to enable other businesses to browse and apply for
these funds. Private sector companies are able to transfer levy funds to employers
in the public sector.</p><p>It is encouraging to see that companies, including DPD,
Mace Group, and Amazon UK, have already begun to take advantage of this opportunity
and pledge funds for transfer.</p>
