Recommendation 6
6
Accepted
Removing Level 7 apprenticeship funding for over-22s jeopardises transport manufacturing's skilled worker supply.
Conclusion
We acknowledge that the Government is seeking to re-balance funding to prioritise people aged below 22. However, the removal of Government funding for level 7 apprenticeships for those aged 22 and older risks jeopardising the supply of experienced and highly skilled workers for the transport manufacturing sector. (Conclusion, Paragraph 41)
