Apprentice Guidance

If you find out that you are at risk of, or have been made redundant, please let us know as soon as you can. FAC offers a personalised support programme for any apprentices made redundant part way through the programme consisting of:

• Fortnightly 1-1 meetings with Programmes and Impact Lead (face-to-face or online)
• Guidance to develop an Individual Support Plan with regular reviews
• Ongoing support to source new employment opportunities
• Assistance applying for government funding (if eligible)
• References and learning records/progress reports (if required)

Please see guidance below:

What Happens When a Apprentice Is Made Redundant?

“Apprentices dismissed through redundancy with less than six months left to complete their training or who have completed 75% of their programme can receive funding from the government to continue in their training for at least 12 weeks until they find alternative employment.

An apprentice with less than 12 months to go on their programme can be dismissed through redundancy and then taken on under a different apprenticeship agreement within the company as long as they work and receive training of the same standard they were receiving before redundancy.”

You can read more guidance on apprentices being made redundant from paragraph 303 (page 66) onwards:
