With the increase in National Insurance (NI) contributions, it’s more important than ever to explore the benefits of hiring apprentices. As an employer, you may not need to pay Class 1 National Insurance contributions for an apprentice if they meet the following criteria:
✅ Under 25 years old
✅ Enrolled in an approved UK government apprenticeship standard or framework
✅ Earning less than £967 per week (£50,270 per year)
Apprenticeships offer a great way to develop fresh talent, build a skilled workforce, and reduce payroll costs—all while shaping the future of your business.

The Growth and Skills Levy is a charge paid by large employers in England to fund apprenticeship training and enhance workforce skills. It helps expand apprenticeship programmes for both new and existing employees. Smaller non-levy paying employers can also access these opportunities.
Apprenticeships are a fantastic way to nurture talent and invest in the future of our industry. Thanks to the levy gifting scheme and the support from Inspiro Learning and our partners, we can now offer life-changing opportunities to more individuals than ever before.”
