Details

In his 2013/14 Annual Report for further education and skills, Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector raised concerns about the apprenticeships on offer in England. He was particularly critical of the low number of apprentices aged 16 to 24, the limited new skills developed by many apprentices and the mismatch between identified skills shortages and the apprenticeships on offer.

The Chief Inspector commissioned this survey to look into the quality of apprenticeships under the current frameworks so that the findings can be used to inform the government reforms underway.
