<p>The UK recognises the value of learning from others by keeping abreast of developments
in Europe and internationally. However, we believe that this can be achieved through
less bureaucratic routes than a European Alliance for Apprenticeships. In England,
we do not propose to participate but the devolved administrations are free to do so
if they believe that the Alliance is the appropriate framework for sharing best practice.</p><p>We
are already taking strong action to improve opportunities for young people by funding
record numbers of apprenticeships, new traineeships and improved maths and English
training. These actions, along with the record number of jobs, have contributed to
the 32.8% fall in youth unemployment over the past year.</p>
