The Richard Review of Apprenticeships, published in November 2012, looked at how apprenticeships in England can meet the needs of the changing economy. The government’s response accepts the Review’s assessment of the challenges and opportunities ahead and sets out the government’s long term vision for apprenticeships, together with proposals for achieving this.

The government has launched a consultation in response to the Review of Apprenticeships.   The consultation is now open and closes on 22nd May 2013.  The consultation can be found here.
