Our Commitment to Reform

• Boosting our nation’s productivity to maintain and consolidate our economic

recovery.

• Raising skill levels through apprenticeships – reaching 3 million starts in 2020.

That is equivalent to more than one apprentice every minute over the next five years every minute over the next five years

• Putting employers in the driving seat of creating apprenticeships that fully

meet their business needs.

• Making sure that apprenticeships are open to all, with a 20% increase in BAME

apprentice starts in 2020.

Employer-Designed Standards

Over 40% of standards so far are for Higher and Degree Apprenticeships

A Sustainable Long-Term Apprenticeship System

• The Institute for Apprenticeships will be an independent employer-led body

that will regulate the quality of apprenticeships. It will be set up by April 2017.

• An independent Chair will lead a small Board of employers, business leaders

and their representatives. The Institute will approve apprenticeship standards. Our reforms and the introduction of the levy will lead to an increased demand from employers. This lead to an increased demand from employers. This provides new opportunities for agile providers.

• Area-based Reviews will rationalise the landscape of post-16 education and
• training. We expect high quality colleges to play a bigger role, alongside

employers, Universities and independent training providers.

• The Education and Training Foundation is supporting providers to adapt

through its Future Apprenticeships programme.

Funding Apprenticeships

• We have already increased the minimum wage for apprentices by over 20% to

£3.30 in October 2015.

• The Government is introducing a levy on employers to fund apprenticeships.

This will be collected through PAYE. Guidance will be provided in Spring 2016.

• Employers who pay the levy and are committed to apprenticeship training will

be able to get out more than they pay in. be able to get out more than they pay in.

• Employers will be able to choose where to

direct the funds in their digital account. Where employers choose not to, we will make these available more widely.

• Guidance on funding for frameworks and

standards in 2016/17 will be published in January.

The Levy EXAMPLE 1 Employer of 250 employees, each with a gross salary of £20,000 Paybill: 250 x £20,000 = £5,000,000 Levy sum: 0.5% x £5,000,000 = £25,000 Allowance: £25,000 - £15,000 = £10,000 EXAMPLE 2 EXAMPLE 2 Employer of 100 employees, each with a gross salary of £20,000 Paybill: 100 x £20,000 = £2,000,000 Levy sum: 0.5% x £2,000,000 = £10,000 Allowance: £10,000 - £15,000 = £0 annual levy payment.

Funding is put into the hands of employers alongside the design of standards

The Public Sector Leading the Way

• The public sector will play a leading role in

delivering Apprenticeships.

• Through the Enterprise Bill we are introducing a

target for public sector bodies.

• This will be 2.3% of workforce. We will consult

• f >250 in England.
• We have updated the rules around public

procurement so that apprenticeships must be considered in all contracts >£10m. The NHS will deliver more than 100,000 Apprenticeships

• ver the next

five years.

Digital Apprenticeship Service The new Digital Apprenticeship Service will provide a new simple online portal for employers Proceeding with the Digital Apprenticeship Voucher To be implemented from 2017 – as part of a broader end-to-end service that simplifies the employer journey and supports them to employ apprentices. and supports them to employ apprentices. Simplified solution

• Enabling employers to make decisions about taking
• n apprentices (for all apprenticeships and all

employers including the smallest)

• Giving employers greater purchasing power and
• versight of providers available
• Giving transparency on apprenticeship standards and their costs

Supporting Routes into Apprenticeships

• High quality careers guidance is essential to help

people find out about apprenticeships.

• Schools have a statutory duty to secure

independent careers guidance.

• The new Careers and Enterprise Company is

encouraging greater collaboration and providing a encouraging greater collaboration and providing a network of Enterprise Advisers.

• Traineeships offer high quality work preparation.

30,000 young people have already benefited and 2/3 have reached a positive destination.

• From Sep 2016, UCAS will include Higher and

Degree Apprenticeships on their website.
