Gov UK - Find an apprenticeship

Find an apprenticeship is the official Government website for apprenticeship opportunities in England and is used by thousands of registered candidates, including those that have been affected by redundancy.

Gov UK are continually making improvements to the Redundancy Support Service for Apprentices.

From 21 June 2021, all opportunities will be advertised on Find an apprenticeship.

The change will help increase interest in employers' opportunities by making it easier for apprentices to search and apply. In addition, received applications are easy to manage and in one place, with the ability to direct candidates to recruitment sites if needed.

Recruiting apprentices who have been made redundant

To advertise an opportunity, employers need to create an apprenticeship service account, or sign in if they already have one, and select ‘Your apprenticeship adverts’ under the ‘Apprenticeships’ section. Gov UK's support video guides employers through the recruitment process step-by-step.

Additional support for apprentices

If you know of any apprentices affected by redundancy please direct them to Gov UK's dedicated helpline, 0800 015 0400 (freephone), available 8 am to 10 pm, 7 days a week, or visit Gov UK's online support pages.
