The detailed recommendations contained in the report call for impactful collaboration across the sector, providing a solid foundation for Government and sector stakeholders to improve the system, increase completions, and in turn, attract more learners to pursue vocational training.
To support the publication of this report, The St Martin’s Group held an event to discuss the findings and bring together sector leaders to consider the recommendations, including how communicating the wider benefits of participating in apprenticeships can be used to increase public trust in the Programme.
