answer text <p>We are committed to making the UK one of the best places in the world to grow a manufacturing business. Through our Industrial Strategy, we will make sure that we are using all the tools we have to stimulate manufacturing growth. That includes using major new investment in research to support innovative manufacturing businesses across the country and encouraging inward investment into the parts of the country where we need increased growth.</p><p>We are working with employers to jointly design and deliver policies and programmes, which will make the skills system more responsive to employer needs, while giving individuals the skills they need to succeed.</p><p>This includes making apprenticeships longer, better, with more off-the-job training and proper assessment at the end, as well as introducing T levels, which will offer a high quality and rigorous technical alternative to academic education. We are also establishing Institutes of Technology to help meet higher level technical skills needs. In addition, we are developing a new National Retraining Scheme; an ambitious, far-reaching programme, which will give adults the skills they need to thrive as the economy changes.</p><p>Information on the UK’s Industrial Strategy can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/topical-events/the-uks-industrial-strategy" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/topical-events/the-uks-industrial-strategy</a>.</p><p> </p>
