The Adult Education Budget (AEB) is not allocated to specific provision areas. The Education and Skills Funding Agency allocates AEB to individual providers who, under the current freedoms and flexibility policy, are able to use their funds to support any learners meeting the funding rules.<\/p>
<\/p>
Therefore the table below shows the value of Trade Union learning delivered through the AEB for each funding year. Please note that the AEB has been operating since 2016/17. It was previously known as the Adult Skills Budget.<\/p>

We have also been exploring the impact of the levy across different sectors and regions and for different types of apprentices as well as the contribution of apprenticeships to the wider skills landscape.<\/p> Over the past few months, we have used a number of channels, including a survey and regional roundtables across England, to work with a range of different employers, providers and representative organisations. We will continue to listen to the views of employers and providers in the run-up to the Spending Review.<\/p>"}
