answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2014 answer text <p>We are giving employers control of the funding for the training and assessment of the apprenticeships that they design. This will enable them to work directly with education and training providers to secure the most effective training for their apprentices. We will be testing a new funding model via apprenticeship starts in the 2014-15 academic year based on standards developed by our Trailblazer groups of employers. We will develop a comprehensive communication programme for employers (including local authorities) to help them understand the changes.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock question first answered 17/06/2014 09:50:05 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, for what reason the option of maintaining the current provider-funded model was dropped in his Department's second consultation on funding reform for apprenticeships.
tabling member constituency	Hyndburn
tabling member printed	Graham Jones
uin	200174
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2014 answer text <p>The 2013 consultation on apprenticeship funding reforms sought evidence on the feasibility and impact of three different models for reforming apprenticeship funding. Following consideration of the responses to these, the second consultation sought views on two models—a PAYE model and an apprenticeship credit—that are consistent with an employer-driven apprenticeships system. A pure provider payment model was ruled out, as evidence from the first consultation indicated that this model was the least likely to deliver the intended aim of giving employers true purchasing power.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock question first answered 17/06/2014 09:54:31 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
