We continue to work closely with all employers in England to help them take advantage of the levy and wider funding arrangements to invest in their long-term skills needs.</p><p> </p><p>In response to feedback from employers, in April 2019 we raised the amount that levy-paying employers can transfer to other employers to 25% of the annual value of their fund. This increase offers levy-paying employers more options in how they use their funds and also gives them the opportunity to support apprenticeships locally or within supply chains.</p><p> </p><p>We provide ongoing face-to-face support for over 1,000 of the largest levy-paying employers through our network of national account managers. We also support a further 4,500 levy-payers through our dedicated telephone account management service.</p><p> </p><p>We have recently held 8 country-wide roadshows, attended by over 800 employers, to communicate with large employers and encourage them to share good practice.</p><p> </p><p>Our National Apprenticeship Service provides free impartial advice to all employers, including small and medium-sized businesses, via its helpline. It also works through intermediary organisations to reach smaller employers and increase their engagement in apprenticeships.</p><p>We produce a range of guidance for employers which is available online at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/apprenticeships-guide-for-employers" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/apprenticeships-guide-for-employers</a>.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chippenham answering member printed Michelle Donelan question first answered 24/10/2019 15:27:42 answering member 4530 label Biography information for Michelle Donelan
