Beyond the levy: Ensuring the effective implementation of the Growth and Skills Levy

This Aldersgate Group briefing highlights the importance of apprenticeships in addressing the UK’s skills gaps, kickstarting growth, and supporting net zero and nature goals, with recommendations that set out how to maximise the effectiveness of the Growth and Skills Levy.

The briefing calls on the government to address the broader structural barriers to investment and uptake of apprenticeships by: providing long-term policy support to employers and providers; boosting careers advice and awareness of apprenticeship delivery options; offering greater financial support; and improving the transparency of the apprenticeship funding model.
