With the current driver shortage, training new and existing drivers should be a priority. With no easy funding route for licence acquisition though, too few hauliers are prepared to train the new blood the industry is crying out for. The Trailblazer Group for transport and logistics has created a new apprenticeship, but not without internal as well as procedural struggles. The old category C apprenticeship becomes C+E on 1 August, which solves one problem but leaves the industry without a funded category C licence acquisition route until the new Urban Driving apprenticeship comes in, probably in January 2022.
