Management: Apprentices

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will set out his methodology for determining the future funding of leadership and management apprenticeships.

Answered by Andrew Western

The Government is transforming the apprenticeships levy into a new growth and skills levy, backed by an additional £725 million of investment, which will deliver greater flexibility to employers, more opportunities for young people and support the industrial strategy.

We have been working intensively with business on the next stages of reform and will announce plans for the development of the Growth and Skills Levy soon.
