Training policies are not delivering: so what now?

摘要

The government started its reform of apprenticeships in 2013 and the transformation of vocational and technical qualifications in April 2016 with the Sainsbury Review. So what's been achieved since? As of May, only 92 apprenticeship standards are complete or in development. That is a quarter of the total likely to be needed across the whole sector. Fortraditional operatives and trades, there are only 10 apprenticeship standards fully ready and funded. There are three others held up by arguments over the funding level the government will permit for employers to reclaim against the apprenticeship levy.
