Bifa encourages recruitment of apprentices


Robert Keen, director general of the British International Freight Association (Bifa) has reminded the association's members that "since 2 June 2021, employers of all sizes in England can apply for extra funding to help them take on new apprentices, with GBP 3,000 (EUR 3,490) being made available for each new apprentice hired as a new employee from 1 April until 30 September.”

 

The freight association has been committed to promote the availability of an international freight forwarding specialist apprenticeship since it was introduced in 2018. Carl Hobbis, executive director: “For SMEs, the apprentice programme can cost as little as GBP 450 (approximately EUR 525) per apprentice, and includes a Btec qualification for the apprentice as well, which makes it great value.”

 

A dedicated area on Bifa's website can help employers and recruits to understand apprenticeship opportunities in the freight forwarding industry: https://apprentices.bifa.org/  (amh)
