    Apprenticeships & technical education

    Apprenticeships and technical education are important to help people improve their skills and build a career and for employers to meet skills needs. Our work focuses on widening participation and improving quality, especially for apprenticeships.

  • We need a long-term strategy to combat the decline in apprenticeships

    Latest figures show the huge impact of the coronavirus pandemic on apprenticeships, with the number of starts remaining well below pre-crisis levels.
  • Level 4 Apprenticeships and above - we need to widen access to level up

    Our research shows we will need a greater ambition and a more concerted effort by government, employers, and providers to engage and support under-represented groups in accessing apprenticeships.
