£60m plan | Major reforms announced to boost apprenticeships by 20,000 - do the plans go far enough?

The Prime Minister has set out a major package of reforms to support businesses to deliver as many as 20,000 new apprenticeships.

Rishi Sunak announced on Monday that the Government will fully fund apprenticeships in small businesses from April 1 2024 by paying the full cost of training for anyone up to the age of 21 - reducing costs and burdens for businesses and delivering more opportunities for young people to kick start their careers.
