The Government have announced that the term ‘apprenticeship’ will be protected in law through the Enterprise Bill to be introduced in Parliament in the autumn. The aims are to strengthen the reputation of apprenticeships, ensure they are recognised as a career path equal to higher education and give Government the power to take action when the term is misused to promote low quality courses. The Government will also enshrine in law its commitment to create 3 million apprenticeships by 2020 and public sector bodies will be set targets to help reach the 3 million target.
