In the second part of the article series, Richard Guy discusses how the government could effectively devise spending on higher-level and degree apprenticeships.

Although the Autumn Statement did not address funding for apprenticeships at levels 6 and 7, there is an expectation that this issue will re-emerge.

Our latest article examines the future financial viability of high-level apprenticeships.

According to recent reports, HM Treasury is considering reducing funding for Level 6/7 apprenticeships, with a focus on Senior Leader apprenticeships.

The argument behind this potential move is that it may not be deemed "fair" to allocate funds to these higher levels when there is a perceived shortage at levels 2 to 5.

In our latest article, Richard Guy delves into the discussions on potential cuts to higher-level apprenticeships.

Our latest article reviews the newly announced ABS qualification.

The Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has just unveiled The Advanced British Standard (ABS), a new educational qualification that merges A levels and T levels for 16–19-year-olds.

This move is aimed at bridging the gap between academic and technical education, promising to deliver on the pledge of equality between the two.

In our latest article, Richard Guy reviews the announcement of the ABS from the point of view of technical education and employers.

The key proposal from Labour is to allow Levy-paying employers to use up to 50% of their total Levy contributions to fund non-apprenticeship qualifications approved by a new skills body called Skills England.

Labour’s document states that Skills England will work with Government departments, an Industrial Strategy Council, and the Migration Advisory Committee to identify skills and labour needs.

Our latest article examines the impact of Labour's proposed “Growth and Skills Levy”.
