You are invited to join our upcoming webinar on the draft 2026/27 Apprenticeship Funding Rules and their impact on apprenticeships.

DWP have now published the draft apprenticeship funding rules for the next academic year 26/27.  The rules contain a significant list of clarifications aiming to simplify delivery alongside key policy changes, for example to  co-investment and subcontracting, all of which will change not just paperwork and processes but the offer that we have for employers.

To gain a fuller understanding of the impact of the Funding Rules for the next academic year our upcoming webinar on Friday 1 May, 9:30 – 11:30, where we explain the changes and highlight actions needed now to get  ready for this new delivery.

The session is for any member of staff involved in apprenticeship design, governance and delivery including employer engagement teams, teaching teams, senior leaders and staff in apprenticeship support roles. 

We will summarise each of the changes to the rules and explore the impact on each part of the apprenticeship. We will also outline the schooled for delivery of the UVAC template site including contacts for employers. 

This webinar is open to both non and full UVAC members.

The webinar will be led by Rebecca Rhodes, UVAC Associate Director who, in a previous life, was responsible for leading the team that wrote the Funding Rules and has continued to be actively involved.
