Funding announced for new third sector apprenticeships

Third sector apprenticeships are brand new training programmes specifically designed for charities and social enterprises to help them make a difference to people and communities. They develop practical skills in three key areas for third sector organisations – campaigning, fundraising and volunteer management.
An apprenticeship is a combination of paid employment and training. The coalition Government wants to increase the number of apprenticeship places available, and has increased funding to encourage people to take them up.
Skills - Third Sector has developed the three apprenticeships specifically for charities and social enterprises so you have training programmes available specifically tailored to meet the needs of your organisation. The organisation, Fair Train, exists to build capacity in the third sector to employ apprentices and can provide organisations with help, advice and support, and match them with a training provider. If you are considering employing an apprentice, contact Fair Train in the first instance.
