The UK government has announced plans to enhance training opportunities for under-21s but is controversially scrapping funding for postgraduate apprenticeships, which are crucial for professions like accounting and NHS roles. This shift means employers will have to fully fund level 7 apprenticeships, creating concern among critics who argue this could undermine critical training paths. While the government aims to create 120,000 additional training opportunities, the changes may deter older workers from advancing their qualifications at a master's level.
The government plans to remove funding for postgraduate apprenticeships, affecting higher apprenticeships which may now need to be funded entirely by employers.
Funding changes for level 7 apprenticeships are controversial, with critics claiming it could severely impact advanced training in the NHS and other sectors.
