New third sector apprenticeships funding announced

1 February 2012

New advanced apprenticeships in campaigning, fundraising and volunteer management have been approved by the National Apprenticeships Service for funding by the Skills Funding Agency

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.

Skills - Third Sector, together with people who work in the third sector, have developed 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 you with help, advice and support, and match you with a training provider in your region. If you are considering employing an apprentice please contact Fair Train in the first instance.
