The sector needs to do more to reconnect with small and medium sized employers if we are to provide greater opportunities for 16-18 year olds, argues Suzanne Slater, Director of Operations for Apprenticeships at educational charity and leader in vocational and technical learning, NCFE.
I read something recently about apprenticeships being an emotionally led decision as opposed to a rational one. If it was rational, apprenticeships should be an absolute no brainer, and yet both learners and employers are still choosing different options when it comes to education and training.
