It highlights that while there was a 30 per cent increase in the total number of apprentices seen between 2010-11 and 2014-15, the number of younger apprentices (between 17 and 18) fell by 8,000.<\/p>\n<p>The analysis also warned that for most apprentices these schemes do not offer progression beyond their currently level of qualification. Furthermore, many do not receive appropriate training.<\/p>\n<p>Smaller businesses and the services sector are also not benefiting from the new system, which works well in large organisation focused on high-quality technical training.<\/p>\n<p>Charlynne Pullen, senior research fellow at IPPR, said the apprenticeship scheme was not benefiting enough young people. \u201cAnd this situation could get worse in the coming years,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTraining existing staff in what they already know isn\u2019t what the public think of as an apprenticeship. There is a real risk of the new apprenticeship system repeating many of the same mistakes as the previous system that it is replacing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The IPPR recommended standards should be tightened, as well as the extension of the apprenticeship levy (due to be introduced next year) to small employers. It also called on the government to extend its deadline to deliver three million apprenticeship, warning there should be a focus on quality rather than quantity.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Clifton, IPPR\u2019s associate director for public services, said: \u201cWe need to create an apprenticeship system that works in a jobs market that is increasingly characterised by small firms, service sector jobs and flexible working.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The government have made a number of steps in the right direction \u2013 including introducing an apprenticeship levy \u2013 but there is more work to be done to ensure that all young people have access to high-quality \u2018earning and learning\u2019 routes\u201d.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new report has found the apprenticeship system is not successfully supporting young people into work\u2026 Analysis from the Institute for Public Policy Research has revealed flaws in the apprenticeship system.
