The Leathersellers' Foundation is offering Tannery Apprenticeship Grants of £6,000 per year for two years to support the training and education of workers in the leather industry.

We are seeking tanneries willing to commit to training an apprentice to achieve the Level 2 Leather Craftsperson (Production) standard over the next two years as part of a cohort.

The aim is to sustain vital skills and promote excellence in the UK tanning industry.

In addition to the funding, the Leathersellers’ will provide:

Expert support via UKFT to help identify a training provider and assist with setting up your programme.
Public recognition of participating tanneries and apprentices through joint publicity with UKFT, celebrating this initiative and the educational opportunities it creates (utilising National Apprenticeships week).

Eligibility Criteria

You must meet all of the following to apply:

- the organisation is an English-based business

- the apprenticeship will provide structured training and experience, allowing time for learning as well as working

- the apprentice will be aged 18 or over (no upper age limit) and living and working permanently in the UK

- the apprentice will receive a regular wage (at least minimum wage based on age). We encourage companies to aim for the Living Wage (£12.21/hour) or to reach that level during the apprenticeship.

If you meet all the criteria above, you are eligible to apply. If you are unsure, please contact nrymaszewska@leathersellers.org before applying.
