The new Institute for Apprenticeships started its first official working day on 3 April 2017. Independent from government, the institute has been launched to ensure that all apprenticeships are top quality and deliver the skills that employers need. It will further support the government’s commitment to deliver 3m quality apprenticeships by 2020.
High-quality apprenticeships are an important part of the government’s plan for Britain and the institute marks an important milestone in working with businesses to invest in the home grown-skills our country needs.
To ensure employers are at the heart of every decision, the institute has appointed leading figures in the business world to sit on its board. This will ensure that employers’ needs are being met and they have the opportunity to review and challenge apprenticeship standards and how apprenticeships are assessed. |
