Scarcely a month goes by without businesses or employer representative bodies across Yorkshire demanding significant changes and reforms to the Apprenticeship Levy.
Introduced in 2017, the levy was designed to boost apprenticeship numbers, incentivise increased training and invest in future workforces across an increasingly diverse array of sectors. In principle, increased investment in apprenticeships via the levy can only be a good thing, given they are proven to improve training quality, social mobility, tackle the skills gap felt across many industries and ultimately drive economic growth.
We’d urge employers across the region to explore all opportunities to upskill their workforce via an apprenticeship. Extending the length of time levy funds are spent by employers could also surely be reviewed? If more levy funds are collected than are used to pay for apprenticeships, then excess funds should be used to pay for other nationally recognised skills programmes and not put back into the government’s coffers.
