Over 600 employers and apprentices have signed a letter urging HM Treasury not to defund level 7 apprenticeships. Coordinated by University Alliance, the letter amassed over 400 testimonials from signatories, and emphasised that workers in all stages of their careers should be able to upskill and retrain. Given that 71% of jobs in 2035 will be held by those already in the workforce, defunding high-level training will not deliver the high-skill, high-productivity workforce the UK needs.
