Apprentices
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what discussions she has had with businesses on levels of need for apprentices.
Answered by Janet Daby
Education is a devolved matter, and the response outlines the information for England only.
This government is transforming the apprenticeships offer into a new growth and skills offer, which will deliver greater flexibility to employers and learners and support the Industrial Strategy.
The development of the growth and skills offer is informed by Skills England’s analysis and engagement. Skills England is working closely with employers, training providers and other stakeholders to identify priority skills gaps, helping to ensure that the levy-funded growth and skills offer meets the needs of businesses and helps to kick start economic growth.
