Effective from January 2022, this annual base grant will be paid to employers who employ apprentices in one of the 40+ apprenticeships which have been established since 2016. The €2000 grant per apprentice per year will be paid for each eligible registered apprentice during their employment with the company via Apprenticeship Online. Two payment points of €1000 are planned per year- June and December. This extends financial support to all apprentice employers for the first time, addressing a key barrier to employer participation in apprenticeship. The Employer Grant is being introduced as part of the national Action Plan for Apprenticeship 2021-2025 with the newly established National Apprenticeship Office administering the Grant.
