We have published the report “Apprenticeships: Unlocking Talent, Building Skills for All”, setting out plans to expand the number and range of Apprenticeships so that, from 2013, any suitably-qualified 16 to 18-year-old who wants an Apprenticeship can have one.
The expansion of Apprenticeships will support our plan to raise the participation age in learning.
Over the past decade, we have more than doubled the number of young people and adults starting Apprenticeships.
