Closed 16-18 apprenticeship funding rate reduction

Closed on

The Government plan to cut the 16-18 year-old apprenticeship funding rate by 2% next year, whilst leaving the adult apprenticeship funding rates unchanged.

At a time of record youth unemployment, £15m underspend last year and calls for greater investment in quality training, the government need not, nor should, reduce the funding rate.

Please sign this petition if you agree the government should not reduce the funding rate for 16-18 apprenticeships.
