The Apprenticeship changes and your business

How will this affect you?

Apprenticeship Changes

The Richard Review of Apprenticeships in England (2012) made a number of recommendations to ensure Apprenticeships would meet the future needs of the changing economy and consistently deliver high quality training.
The Government’s strategy to meet these changing needs, included:

  • changes to funding.
  • the replacement of Apprenticeship Frameworks with a new range of Apprenticeship Standards designed by groups of employers to truly meet industry need.
  • the creation of the Institute for Apprenticeships (IfA) to oversee Apprenticeship standards.
  • the launch of an online Apprenticeship Service (AS) to support employers choose an Apprenticeship, find a training provider and a candidate.
