My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State, ministers and department officials meet with stakeholders from across the apprenticeships sector frequently to discuss the apprenticeships agenda, including employers, business representative organisations and providers. This includes a regular meeting between my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State and national business bodies.

Stakeholder meetings cover a variety of topics across the apprenticeships programme. The department will continue to work closely with all key stakeholders to help them take advantage of apprenticeships and the apprenticeship reform programme to invest in the long-term skills needs of the country.
