Workplace-focused delivery
We connect the apprenticeship to real responsibilities, projects, systems and performance expectations instead of treating learning as something separate from work.
Funding & eligibility
Understanding apprenticeship funding
Apprenticeship funding depends on factors including the employer, apprentice, standard and the funding rules that apply at the time of the start. Levy-paying employers normally use their apprenticeship service account, while non-levy employers may receive government funding subject to the current rules.
Before enrolment, MI confirms eligibility, prior learning, the correct apprenticeship standard and the funding position. We also make sure the apprentice's job provides the opportunity to develop the required knowledge, skills and behaviours.
Develop existing staff
Apprenticeships are not only for new recruits. They can be used to develop existing employees where the apprenticeship provides substantial new learning and supports progression in their role.
Recruit new apprentices
Where an employer wants to bring new talent into the organisation, MI can help match the role to an appropriate apprenticeship and explain the training requirements from the start.
The employer's role
A successful apprenticeship depends on involvement from the employer. Line managers should provide meaningful work, time to learn, opportunities to apply new skills and input into progress reviews. MI provides the training and structure, but the workplace is where the apprentice demonstrates and embeds much of their development.
