Temporary funding uplifts for apprenticeships where costs have significantly increased have been delayed.
Government chiefs promised more information on how to apply for the short-term boosts would be released by mid-November, with bids set to open by the end of the month.
However, the Department for Education and Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education have been silent on this process since it was announced at the Association of Employment and Learning Providers (AELP) conference on November 1.
The DfE has now told FE Week that its officials will “provide further information in December”. The department gave no indication as to whether the application process would launch at this point.
