Young People: Training

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills what discussions he has had with ministerial colleagues on the provision of youth training opportunities in the public sector.
Answer

Around a third of the current total of 250,000 Apprenticeships are being delivered in the public sector. We want to expand Apprenticeships to meet Lord Leitch’s ambition for 500,000 apprentices in learning in the UK (400,000 in England) by 2020. I will be speaking to my ministerial colleagues about this over the coming weeks.
