30/04/2021 - Supported Apprenticeships for residents in supported accommodation

The decision being made is whether to approve Contain Outbreak Management Funding (COMF) for £645 000 to provide a one-off programme of work to support people who are living in supported accommodation into apprenticeships.

People living in supported accommodation (as well as those in temporary accommodation and those at risk of becoming homeless) are often not in work or training. They may require additional support to take up an apprentice scheme or a programme to see if they would be interested/ appropriate to take on an apprentice (Sector Based Work Academy Programme - SWAP).

The funding would enable up to 150 SWAPs and 50 supported apprenticeships in key sectors including health, care, construction and the visitor economy.
