                "description": "Whilst we have emerged from the impact of COVID-19 we now have a cost of living crisis therefore we have a recognised economic need to support disabled individuals into education, employment, or training during the current financial year. The Welsh Government are therefore extending the EIS for disabled apprentices until 31 March 2024. We believe there is a need for targeted support to address employer concerns over employing a disabled person. The introduction of the Employer Incentive Payment for disabled people has been a significant factor to maintaining an increase in disabled apprenticeship starts, which have grown to over 9%. Whilst the labour market is now improving it is expected that numbers of disabled people seeking employment will rise and we therefore need to continue to offer EIS support to employers in order to help them continue to provide opportunities for disabled apprentices. We will strictly monitor the uptake of the programme. We will also reserve the right to suspend AEIS payments if it appears that demand is at risk of exceeding the available budget. The AEIS payment supports the commitment to continue developing a culture where recruiting an apprentice becomes the norm for employers in addition to recognising the need to make apprenticeships a credible alternative to the academic route for young people. In recognition of the administrative burden placed on lead providers in managing the Apprentice Employer Incentive payment process and collating relevant evidence to support payments, we will award providers an administration fee for each learner recruited under this incentive programme. This fee is set at GBP 100 (inclusive of VAT) per learner and will be payable in full once the learner has been employed for 4 weeks. Further details of payments available to employers in relation to the Apprentice Employer Incentive can be found here: https://businesswales.gov.wales/skillsgateway/skills-and-training-programmes/apprenticeships/funding-available",

                    "description": "The Welsh Government has extended the financial incentives to encourage employers to recruit disabled apprentices until 31 March 2024. The Welsh economy is emerging from the COVID pandemic, however with the cost-of-living crisis effecting both individuals and businesses, we believe the continuation of the AEIS for disabled apprentices is needed to help encourage employers to employ a disabled person during to current climate. We believe that the disabled AEIS is crucial in supporting employers who have been negatively impacted in the Welsh labour market. Providers contracted under the ACP framework will be able to claim a management fee in recognition of the additional administration needed. Providers will receive a payment of GBP 100 per apprentice supported via the AEIS. The maxim administration payment paid to providers will not exceed GBP 19,000 during financial year 2023 - 2024.",
                    "rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: Noting the limited duration/ value of the disabled AEIS, ACP providers are best placed to deliver for technical reasons given the relevant systems, information on employers and apprentices they have in place, to ensure efficacy of the scheme. Appointing alternative providers would result in unnecessary cost duplication, (1)setting up separate EIS administration systems, such as, data sharing agreements with the ACP providers to obtain details of the relevant employers and apprentices; (2)significant liaison with ACP providers to confirm details pertinent to each apprentice including confirming each learner has started their apprenticeship, and is employed within 14 weeks from apprenticeship start to ensure AEIS payments are paid in a timely manner. The payment to the provider of GBP100 per apprentice would not be satisfactory recompense to warrant establishing a separate framework of providers for the disabled AEIS. The maximum amount paid to ACP providers will not exceed GBP 19,000."
