If you have been a full or contract manufacturing member of the MTA for at least one year, and your company has an annual turnover of £10 million or less, you should be eligible to apply for one of our grants or loans.

  • Apprenticeship Grants of up to £4,000 to help you take on an apprentice (£3,000 for the company and a £1,000 travel grant for the apprentice)

Along with the application forms, there is further information in the forms below which outline the application criteria for the Training Grants, Apprenticeship Grants and Apprenticeship Loans. This has been laid out and agreed by the MTA Education & Development Committee.

The framework is indicative and for guidance purposes for applicants. If you are in any doubt about whether or not your company qualifies for a grant, please contact Joshua Dugdale by email or call 0207 298 6400.
