The Parliamentary Information Office of the Parliamentary Yearbook is currently gathering news items for major features on the economic importance of our maritime and subsea industries in the next edition.
This article outlines some of the key strategies of the programme and the progress made so far since the introduction of Apprenticeship Week in February 2011. It follows the take-up of apprenticeships, the emphasis on creating parity with university degrees for higher apprenticeships, investment through the Higher Apprenticeship Fund and simplification of the apprenticeship process. It also looks at which sectors have benefited already from the policies implemented and the various types of investment available. In the words of Vince Cable, Business Secretary, “This government is committed to skilling up our workforce through work-based training. By providing concentrated seed funding for employer-led projects that attract further investment from business, we’re targeting money where it will be best placed to drive growth.”
