Apprentices

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what the Government's strategy is for increasing the number of apprenticeships.

Answer

The English Apprenticeships 2020 Vision document that we published in December outlines our plans to increase the quantity and quality of apprenticeships in England.

Employer-led reforms are making it easier and more attractive for employers to offer apprenticeships. We have also set new expectations for the public sector and through public procurement.

We announced a £10 million fund to help boost the number of degree apprenticeships that provide the high level skills our economy needs.
