Apprenticeship reforms are addressing exactly the barriers that employers have identified to taking on apprentices.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Trailblazers led by employers are designing the new Apprenticeship standards for occupations in their sectors. Horticulture employers are fully engaged in the reform programme and the Trailblazer for the sector has recently submitted a standard for approval.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The budget announced £170 m funding to extend the Apprenticeship Grant for Employers to help smaller businesses take on young apprentices aged 16-24. This will fund over 100,000 incentive payments of £1,500. Extending the grant into 2015 will ensure Apprenticeship take up by small businesses, including those in the horticulture sector, continues to be supported.<\/p>
