MP congratulates businesses and colleges
John Baron MP has welcomed the Government’s commitment to creating even more apprenticeships at the launch of National Apprenticeship Week 2016 and so build on the growing number of people in Basildon and Billericay starting apprenticeships demonstrates that we are delivering on our manifesto commitments.
The theme for this year’s National Apprenticeship Week is that an Apprenticeship can take you anywhere, as a growing number of young people are looking to an apprenticeship as an alternative route to university.
John said:
“It is good news that 3930 new apprentices have started since May 2010 and over 2.6 million new apprenticeships have started across England. I congratulate every college and business locally that has taken on an apprentice.”
“The Government is committed to creating 3 million apprenticeships by 2020, and is on target.”
The Government also plans to launch the new independent, employer led, Institute for Apprenticeships. The Institute will regulate the quality of apprenticeships in England, taking on responsibility for approving new apprenticeship standards and assessment plans. Only standards that are valued by employers will be approved and funded.
