That is according to the business solutions team at Shrewsbury Colleges Group (SCG), which says it is on hand to take businesses to the next level with apprenticeships.

The UK Government’s incentive scheme, running until March 31, means employers who hire new apprentices will receive up to £3,000 for apprentices aged 16 to 24, and £1,500 for those aged 25 and over.

It is also applicable for an apprentice who has been the victim of redundancy.

Corinne Brown, business solutions manager at SCG, said: “There really hasn’t been a better time to hire an apprentice with the additional support on offer from the Government.

“We know many local and national businesses may have suffered significantly during this difficult time.

"Apprentices can bring a breath of fresh air into a business and help plan for the future and diversify a workforce.”
