Description

The apprenticeship programme can play a key role in resolving some of this county's most pressing issues. It can help us to create a more skilled workforce, to increase employment and to generate sustainable economic growth. For these reasons, the Government has, quite rightly, made apprenticeships a priority and has devoted significant resources to help them thrive. But money does not guarantee success. This wide-ranging, evidence-based report carefully lays out the areas where the current model could better serve apprentices, their employers, or, in many cases, both. The Committee recommends that the Government takes a more active approach in the future and constantly reviews the profit levels of training providers as an indicator of potential risks to efficiency. The Committee heard evidence of excessive profits at the public's expense, of a Government paying out too much money far too easily and of a lack of genuine value for money being provided by apprenticeship schemes. This is unacceptable
