answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2015 answer text <p>We are committed to 3 million apprenticeship starts in England and will ensure they deliver the skills employers and the economy need for growth.</p><br /><p>The locations and sectors where apprenticeships are available are determined by employers choosing to offer opportunities – so our aim is to create the conditions for employers to offer more apprenticeships. So that the public sector plays a full part in delivering more apprenticeships, we are taking forward legislation on targets for public bodies in relation to apprenticeships in England.</p><br /><p>Through the Welfare Reform and Work Bill we are legislating to report annually on progress towards meeting the 3 million. This duty will be a clear statement to reconfirm Government’s commitment to that policy ambition, as well as ensuring transparency on progress.</p><br /><p>Apprenticeships policy is a devolved matter and it is for the devolved administrations of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to determine how they manage their own programmes. However, we recognise the value of an aligned approach to apprenticeships across the United Kingdom, particularly for employers with staff in more than one area.</p><p><strong></strong></p> answering member constituency Grantham and Stamford answering member printed Nick Boles question first answered 16/11/2015 11:30:47 answering member 3995 label Biography information for Nick Boles

We are increasing the quality of apprenticeships through more rigorous assessment and grading at the end of the apprenticeship.
