APPG on Apprenticeships | The ambition for Skills England

The APPG recently hosted the Interim Chair of Skills England, Richard Pennycook CBE, in the Palace of Westminster for an informative discussion on the Government’s skills agenda and the core objectives for Skills England. With its next report imminent, the APPG looks forward to further scrutiny of Skills England as it becomes an arms-length body following the passage of the IfATE Bill.

Given the centrality of Skills England to the skills ecosystem, we anticipate it will be a constant theme running throughout our upcoming sessions, the topics of which will be Level 7 apprenticeship funding, the Growth & Skills Levy, and widening participation/access across the apprenticeship pathway.
