The Government commissioned research into gender and apprenticeships and ethnicity and apprenticeships. A report was published in December 2013. Following this a new advisory group has been established to help address barriers and increase diversity within apprenticeships.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

In the last two years, projects under the Skills Funding Agency\u2019s Equality and Diversity Good Practice Fund have encouraged people from ethnic minorities to apply for apprenticeships, including Chiltern Training, Awaaz and Heba.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Additionally the \u2018Get In. Go far\u2019 campaign launched in September this year, aims to promote apprenticeships to a wide range of potential applicants and has generated over a million hits on YouTube.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The number of applications made through the Apprenticeships Vacancies website from ethnic minority candidates increased from 328,110<\/strong> in 2012/13 to 382,520<\/strong> in 2013/14. Full information on the number of apprenticeship applications by ethnicity is published here:<\/p>

There is no threat to the UK\u2019s National Health Service from TTIP. This was confirmed again by the European Commission\u2019s chief negotiator Ignacio Garcia Bercero at a meeting organised to the All Party Parliamentary Group on TTIP this week.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The chief negotiator outlined that EU public services are automatically excluded from all EU trade in service market liberalisation agreements. Publicly funded health services are specifically excluded. Member states decide how to deliver their public services and can change the delivery model at any time. TTIP will not change the fact that it is up to UK Government alone to decide how UK public services, including the NHS, are run.<\/p>

A number of BIS services are available online including transaction services (e.g. filing information and accounts at Companies House), as well as online guidance available on GOV.UK and information on BIS services. BIS also uses digital channels to engage stakeholders in developing policy making.<\/p>

BIS is committed to the vision set out in the Government Digital Strategy, publishing its own digital strategy in 2012. BIS and Partner Organisations have embarked on a digital transformation programme that by 2020 will ensure that all services that can be redesigned as such will be 'digital by default' and available on GOV.UK. They will be redesigned around the needs of users i.e. businesses, students, employees and consumers.<\/p>

As a critical first step, BIS is playing a key role as part of the Government's Digital Exemplar Programme covering organisations with services that have over 100k transactions annually. BIS provides 5 of the 25 exemplar services. These are:<\/p>
