Leatherworking Apprenticeships

The Leathersellers' Foundation offers apprenticeship funding to support the training and education of aspiring leather craftspeople in the UK. This programme provides grants to sustain vital skills in traditional and contemporary crafts and contribute to excellence in the field of leatherworking. Applications should come from the UK-based organisation or master who will be training the apprentice, which could be for creating a new apprenticeship or supporting an existing programme. The funding contributes towards the business costs of training the apprentice, helping them gain recognised qualifications, or towards the apprentice's salary. The Foundation seeks to support excellence in British leatherworking and is looking for apprentices who plan to utilise their skills and stay in the UK to contribute to the leather industry.
