I am currently in the process of examining the implications of the report from the Apprenticeship Council in the light of the governance, budgetary and other considerations raised in their report.

The next stage of the process involves the detailed development of the proposals into apprenticeships, including curriculum development, quality assurance, approval of employers and a range of other issues.
