Wednesday 26th March 2025 Written Corrections

The following extract is from Second Reading of the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (Transfer of Functions etc) Bill [Lords] on 25 February 2025.

[Bridget Phillipson]

… This Bill will bring together the many disparate parts of a very fragmented system, which employers, particularly smaller employers, often find hard to navigate the right way through, and are not always clear about the best training and qualification routes in order to find the people that they need. Also, the changes we have made to English and maths in particular will support employers to create 10,000 additional apprenticeships every single year.

Also, the changes we have made to English and maths in particular will support employers to unlock 10,000 additional apprenticeship completions every single year.
