TUI Transfers £1 Million Apprenticeship Levy to Boost UK Skills Development

The initiative is enabling NHS trusts, charities, and businesses to create vital training opportunities in sectors where workforce demand is high.

Funding Apprenticeships Across Key Sectors

The transferred funds are supporting apprenticeships in areas such as Health & Social Care, Childcare, Wildlife Management, Engineering, NHS Paramedic training, and Dentistry qualifications.

NHS England has benefited with 13 healthcare apprenticeships in the South East since September 2024, backed by £113,000 of TUI funding. This includes training for Dental Nurses, Dental Practice Managers, Oral Health Practitioners, Pharmacy Technicians, and Children’s Services Practitioners.

South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust has received support for five Paramedic Apprentices, helping to address frontline emergency care staffing needs.

The Turner Home care charity has been able to fund Level 3 and Level 5 Adult Care qualifications for staff, directly enhancing resident care while freeing up charitable funds for other needs.

Fluid Science, a commercial enterprise, has expanded its marketing department, creating career-change opportunities for new talent.

Strengthening Communities and Workforce Development

Marsha Myles, Emerging Talent & Apprenticeship Manager at TUI, said:

“We are incredibly proud to have facilitated the transfer of apprenticeship levy funds to organisations making a real difference in our communities. We’re not only helping to unlock opportunities for individuals who might otherwise be left behind but also strengthening the wider workforce and economy. It’s a powerful way to ensure that every pound of the levy works harder – building skills, driving social mobility, and creating a more inclusive future for all. TUI is a proud supporter of emerging talent, with around 3.5% of our workforce made up of apprentices and graduates, and our target is to reach 5%.”

Donna Harrison, Apprenticeship Lead for South East WTE Clinical Professions Team, NHS England, added:

“Since September 2024, TUI has generously supported 13 learners to begin apprenticeships across the NHS and wider health and social care in the South East. This incredible partnership has enabled the Regional Apprenticeship Lead to work closely with TUI’s Apprenticeship Specialists to connect organisations with levy funding.”

Neil Lentern, Director of Paramedic Practice at South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust, commented:

“We are incredibly grateful to TUI for their generous apprenticeship levy transfer, which will directly fund the education and development of five new Paramedic Apprentices. This support removes financial barriers, fully covers tuition fees, and allows apprentices to focus on their learning and development while helping us invest in the next generation of paramedics.”
