Degree level apprenticeships, specifically, have seen as many starts in the current academic year as the previous three years combined.</p><p> </p><p>Over 90% of employer PAYE schemes with larger levy declarations (over £150,000) have registered an account on the apprenticeship service. This illustrates a high level of engagement amongst levy payers and we are working with employers to help them plan their future apprenticeship programmes. This includes account managing over 1,000 of the largest levy-paying employers to help them shape their own programmes. Account managers have a caseload of approximately 50 to 60 employers, who they meet with face-to-face on a regular basis.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 19/04/2018 07:42:50 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
