Abstract | Access to apprenticeships for young people and those from disadvantaged backgrounds is an ongoing problem, particularly among the most sought-after apprenticeship opportunities. Since the apprenticeship reforms in 2017 there have been a number of main trends. A decline in the number of apprenticeships overall (a trend further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic), with an accentuated decline among younger age groups. There has also been a shift in the composition of apprenticeships, away from levels 2 and 3 (Intermediate and Advanced), and towards Higher and Degree level. While the increase in higher level apprenticeships is to be welcomed, the fact that it has resulted in fewer opportunities for young people is of concern. This report considers the access challenges to apprenticeships for young people and those from disadvantaged backgrounds. It examines apprenticeship outreach to get a reflection of current provision of and gain an understanding of what is considered best practice. Interviews were conducted with a variety of employers, universities and outreach delivery organisations. Recent apprentices were surveyed to understand the information and support they received before starting their apprenticeship, and the gaps that remain. (ERIC). |
