Employer Recruitment Incentive

Employer Recruitment Incentive

In support of the 2014 Commonwealth Games there are a limited number of Employer Recruitment Incentive (ERI) payments available to employers who want to recruit Modern Apprentices (MAs).

Over the next two years (until March 2015), Skills Development Scotland (SDS) will continue to deliver a £1,500 incentive for 16-19 year-olds undertaking a Modern Apprenticeship in selected frameworks, where possible this can be linked to a sporting or cultural event but this is not mandatory.

This Employer Recruitment Incentive will provide employment opportunities for young people across Scotland to ensure a lasting legacy from the 2014 Games. In 2012-13, the initiative supported 426 people through its Commonwealth Games strand and 101 people through its Targeted Young People strand.
