Time to move on from traditional measures for vocational education? Even if apprentices don’t get their “piece of paper” at the end of a programme, the impact is still significant in over 90% of the cases. Yet too many measures are built on much more traditional education models which are primarily geared to qualifications. From day one apprenticeship learning is on the job, real-time, practical, impactful. Actually being better at your job. Growing in confidence. Gaining real-world, hands-on experience Achieving promotion and contributing more widely. Knovia ’s latest 2024 Impact Reports for Paragon Skills & Tempdent prove again the powerful learning formula that vocational education offers. Apprenticeships are so much more than simply gaining a qualification. #humanconnection #apprenticeships #impact #socialmobility #vocationaleducation #measures

Good observations and analysis as ever by Simon here. Also a great reference to LWI report and their relentless efforts to demystify the Levy take and App budget plus a collection of sensible and achievable solution ideas. This now is the next big challenge and opportunity - how to deliver on a promise of flexibility while safeguarding areas of existing investment (apps) and protecting support for SMEs and young talent entering our workforce. The phased approach has appeal and any flex will almost certainly come with some rules but we also know there is scope within current budget utilisation and surplus generated by the Levy take

Key point of interest today in DfE's annual accounts is the Apprenticeship Programme Budget expenditure for FY23/24 - underspend was just £17m on the £2.5bn programme budget. Good job the DfE budget has been topped up this current year as not much headroom for increasing rates, let alone significant non-apprenticeship flexibilities without additional funds. Autumn Budget and Spending Review Settlement on 30th October will be really critical. #Apprenticeships #GrowthAndSkillsLevy #AskAshworth AELP #SkillsMeansGrowth
