The government\u2019s apprenticeship levy could lead to construction apprenticeship funding being slashed\u2026<\/h2>\n

The Construction Industry Training Board<\/a> (CITB) has warned plans to implement a new apprenticeship levy could have wider ramifications for the construction sector.<\/p>\n

The CITB warned that plans to bring in the new levy could see apprenticeship funding in construction cut by nearly a third. As a result contractors may be expected to make up shortfalls in funding, which could reduce the attractiveness of taking on apprentices.<\/p>\n

A consultation is currently underway<\/a> to discuss the levy and is set to end in September, with a view to implement the new system next April. The CITB urged contractors to have their say and raise concerns during this process.<\/p>\n

The new system will comprise of 15 funding bands. These will have a limit ranging from \u00a31,500 to \u00a327,000. The government also plans to create a register of training providers, which will be available from April 2017. This register will help employers to find quality training providers and decide which training their apprentices receive.<\/p>\n

CITB\u2019s Head of Apprenticeships Steve Hearty said: \u201cThe Government\u2019s proposed funding bands for framework apprenticeships raise real concerns for the construction industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe support the new, employer-designed standards, because we think they will improve the quality of apprenticeships, and it is encouraging to note that Government state these will be funded at a higher rate than those recently published.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, no standards for construction have yet been approved and we are still working under the existing frameworks system and may well continue beyond 2017.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cEven with the sector beneficial STEM increases to funding the Government\u2019s proposed funding bands will cut funding for construction apprenticeships by between 20 per cent and 30 per cent.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are concerned that training providers could stop training or they could ask employers to make up the shortfall in cost, which might deter firms from taking apprentices on.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have shared our concerns with DfE<\/a> and will be doing formally through the formal consultation process that closes on 5 September.\u00a0 Employers can do the same.\u201d<\/p>\n
