<p>The digital apprenticeship service offers employers, training providers and individuals
a range of tools to engage with apprenticeships online. We continue to develop the
service and introduce new features. In August 2016, we gave providers a means to post
vacancies on the ‘Find an Apprenticeship’ site (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/apply-apprenticeship"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/apply-apprenticeship</a>). In August 2016, we also
released an easy tool to help employers to estimate their apprenticeship funding (<a
href="https://estimate-my-apprenticeship-funding.sfa.bis.gov.uk" target="_blank">https://estimate-my-apprenticeship-funding.sfa.bis.gov.uk</a>).
In October, a new service will go live to help employers find and compare training
providers and apprenticeships. The employer digital account is being built in readiness
for the apprenticeship levy in April 2017 and is currently being tested in a closed
trial involving 100 employers and 50 providers.</p><p> </p><p>We use a range of channels
to communicate with employers and providers. These include the National Apprenticeship
Service and the Skills Funding Agency’s (SFA’s) network of account managers. There
are weekly and monthly SFA updates that give employers and providers information about
the full range of changes that the digital apprenticeship service will bring. Employers
and providers can also keep in touch through the SFA digital blog, at: <a href="https://sfadigital.blog.gov.uk/"
target="_blank">https://sfadigital.blog.gov.uk</a>. We continue to share information
with employers and providers through regular events across England.</p><p> </p><p><strong><br>
