Yet another report showing the desperate need to reform the apprenticeship levy, this time from CIPD, showing: 📉 a drop in apprenticeships - particularly in young people (though apprenticeships aren't *just* for young people - this drop is still worrying) 📉 reducing spend on trainees 🔮 rebadging existing training as apprenticeships ❌ worries about quality, with low compliance and low completion rates 😕 a proliferation of standards (double that of Germany!) https://lnkd.in/eKS5SnUK

CIPD calls for 'apprenticeship guarantee' : a CIPD report has outlined recommendations for a more flexible levy and the introduction of an Apprenticeship Guarantee for young people to rebalance financial subsidies towards younger apprentices. CIPD research shows UK employer investment in training continues to decline and overall apprenticeship numbers have dropped, especially for young people who most benefit from and need apprenticeships. Working with Youth Futures Foundation, this report calls for a reform of the existing Apprenticeship Levy to enhance employer investment in skills and boost opportunities for young people to secure apprenticeships that lead to quality employment.

This is a raise of 25%. Apprentices - The Apprenticeship minimum wage will raise from £5.28 to £6.40.

The numbers of apprenticeships falling? Easy to see why..... certainly for retail, the system is not working. The industry could do so much more to help develop people up skill with the tools they need for retail today. Too much of the apprenticeship levy paid by retailers go straight into the Treasury's coffers rather than being reinvested into our industry. Time to reform the levy, surely. Certainly the CIPD agree - as do many others. Perhaps time the government did too!? #buyintoretail #retail #apprenticeships #apprenticeshiplevy
