Businesses hiring an apprentice before 31 January can claim a £3,000 incentive payment as part of the Government's expanded Plan for Jobs. To receive the payment, employers must submit applications individually using their apprenticeship service account:

By creating an apprenticeship service account, businesses will be able to:
- access and manage apprenticeship funding
- set up and approve apprentices
- advertise roles on the 'Find an apprenticeship' service
- approve training costs
- check payments to training providers
- give training providers permission to carry out some tasks on your behalf
- give feedback on apprenticeship training
