<p>The amount of funds entering employers’ digital apprenticeship service accounts
in May 2017 was £135 million, of which £11 million in unspent funds expired in May
2019. This was the first month of expiry of funds.</p><p>As well as funding apprenticeships
in levy-paying employers, levy contributions are also used to fund training for existing
apprenticeship learners and new apprenticeships in non- levy paying employers. We
do not anticipate that all employers who pay the levy will need or want to use all
the funds in their accounts, however they are able to.</p>
