The digital apprenticeship service is being built by the Skills Funding Agency in accordance with Cabinet Office best practice.<\/p>

<\/p>

To ensure that the service is focused on employer and training provider needs we are performing extensive user research. The service will build on insights gathered from over 2000 employers and around 400 training providers. To make sure that the service is ready for the levy in April 2017, we plan to launch a substantial pilot with employers and providers later this year.<\/p>

<\/p>

Further details on the apprenticeship levy and the digital apprenticeship service will be available in the guide for employers which will be published shortly on gov.uk.<\/p>

Output per worker was approximately 2.2% higher in 2015 compared to 2008, according to the Office for National Statistics. On an output per hour basis, productivity was 1.7% higher in 2015 compared to 2008.<\/p>

Increasing productivity growth remains one of the key economic challenges for this Parliament. The government\u2019s \u2018Fixing the Foundations\u2019 productivity plan sets out the ambitious vision and pro-productivity agenda that the government is working on to meet the productivity challenge that most advanced economies face.<\/p>

The productivity plan can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/fixing-the-foundations-creating-a-more-prosperous-nation<\/a><\/p>

As the plan notes, every part of government is contributing to this ambition; and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills is working across Whitehall to ensure that the reforms set out in the plan are delivered with urgency and pace.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3938", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anna Soubry"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Broxtowe"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Anna Soubry"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2016-04-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2016-04-20T15:03:03.867Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "26"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Innovation and Skills"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Innovation and Skills"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2016-04-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Productivity"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what steps he is taking to increase productivity to levels recorded in 2008.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1400", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kevin Brennan"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Cardiff West"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Kevin Brennan"} ], "uin" : "33842"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/480614", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Business, Innovation and Skills"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/480614/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
