2020 Vision for Apprenticeships Skills Funding Agency Date 19 th January 2016 Clare Bonson Welcome
Our Commitment to Reform • Boosting our nation’s productivity to maintain and consolidate our economic recovery. • Raising skill levels through apprenticeships – reaching 3 million starts in 2020 . That is equivalent to more than one apprentice every minute over the next five years every minute over the next five years • Putting employers in the driving seat of creating apprenticeships that fully meet their business needs. • Making sure that apprenticeships are open to all, with a 20% increase in BAME apprentice starts in 2020.
Employer-Designed Standards Over 40% of standards so far are for Higher and Degree Apprenticeships
A Sustainable Long-Term Apprenticeship System • The Institute for Apprenticeships will be an independent employer-led body that will regulate the quality of apprenticeships. It will be set up by April 2017. • An independent Chair will lead a small Board of employers, business leaders and their representatives. The Institute will approve apprenticeship standards. Our reforms and the introduction of the levy will lead to an increased demand from employers. This lead to an increased demand from employers. This provides new opportunities for agile providers. • Area-based Reviews will rationalise the landscape of post-16 education and training. We expect high quality colleges to play a bigger role, alongside employers, Universities and independent training providers. • The Education and Training Foundation is supporting providers to adapt through its Future Apprenticeships programme.
Funding Apprenticeships • We have already increased the minimum wage for apprentices by over 20% to £3.30 in October 2015. • The Government is introducing a levy on employers to fund apprenticeships. This will be collected through PAYE. Guidance will be provided in Spring 2016. • Employers who pay the levy and are committed to apprenticeship training will be able to get out more than they pay in. be able to get out more than they pay in. • Employers will be able to choose where to direct the funds in their digital account. Where employers choose not to, we will make these available more widely. • Guidance on funding for frameworks and standards in 2016/17 will be published in January.
The Levy EXAMPLE 1 Employer of 250 employees, each with a gross salary of £20,000 Paybill: 250 x £20,000 = £5,000,000 Levy sum: 0.5% x £5,000,000 = £25,000 Allowance: £25,000 - £15,000 = £10,000 EXAMPLE 2 EXAMPLE 2 Employer of 100 employees, each with a gross salary of £20,000 Paybill: 100 x £20,000 = £2,000,000 Levy sum: 0.5% x £2,000,000 = £10,000 Allowance: £10,000 - £15,000 = £0 annual levy payment .
