We have recently introduced a range of reforms to further support the productivity contribution of apprenticeships. It is too early to assess the full impact of our reforms.<\/p>

Our Apprenticeships Reform Programme Benefits Realisation Strategy, attached, sets out a broad range of success measures for the programme, including economic measures. Measures include earnings upon completion, results from employer and learner surveys, and the further education (FE) Skills Index \u2013 a measure of the productivity impact of the programme over time.<\/p>

The Skills Index enables us to compare the value of skills investments across the FE sector, including apprenticeships. It looks at the number of learners achieving, the employment rate for those learners as well as expected additional earnings.<\/p>

The total value-added for apprenticeships in the academic year 2016/17 has increased by 3% on 2015/16, due to an increase in the volume of apprenticeship achievers at Level 3 and above.<\/p>

We publish annual progress updates against our strategy. Our last update, published in May 2018, is attached and can be found at:<\/p>

We will be publishing our 2019 update shortly which will include an update to our Skills Index.<\/p>
