AFTERNOON KEYNOTE PRESENTATION
Degree Apprenticeships and Levy 2.0 – Anthony Painter CMI
The UK is facing an urgent requirement for rapid upskilling to meet the needs of the economy and address skills mismatches at all levels. But many of the suggested levy reforms to-date risk reducing the number of apprenticeships on offer and diluting the quality and impact of those apprenticeships. This session will discuss options for an adapted levy system that could support a meaningful expansion of employer-led training at all ages and stages across the UK.
