Leathersellers grants for UK industry apprenticeships
The Leathersellers’ Foundation has opened the 2024 applications for apprenticeship grants, offering annual awards ranging from £5,000 to £10,000 to support apprenticeships in the leather industry for up to three years. These grants aim to preserve essential skills and promote excellence within the industry.
The funding is available to UK-based businesses and is designed to aid in the training and education of aspiring leather workers. By providing these grants, the foundation hopes to contribute to the sustained growth and development of the leather industry.
To qualify for the grants, applicants must meet specific criteria. These include providing comprehensive training and experience for apprentices, ensuring apprentices receive at least the minimum wage, and demonstrating a commitment to supporting excellence in British leatherworking. The grants can be used to cover the costs of training or to support the apprentice's salary.
This initiative seeks to foster a talented workforce dedicated to advancing the leather industry in the UK. For more information on eligibility and the application process, interested parties are encouraged to visit the Leathersellers’ Foundation website.
