The partnership between Close Brothers and the University of Sheffield AMRC Training Centre has further cemented a commitment to supporting apprentices and SMEs. Over the past eight years, the Close Brothers SME Apprentice Programme has supported the training of 55 apprentices at the AMRC Training Centre. The next stage will see a further 20 apprenticeships funded over the coming year, with the intake beginning in September 2023. Under the scheme, Close Brothers contributes up to 50% of the wages of the apprentices in the first year and 25% in the second year, and covers all training costs.
