Apprentices: Taxation

(asked on 24th April 2018) - View Source

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether £600 million has been spent on MBA style executive programmes from the apprenticeship levy fund; what assessment they have made of whether this such expenditure supports the goals and target beneficiaries of the fund; and what effect, if any, this will have on the support offered to new and less experienced employees.

Apprenticeship levels do not directly relate to degree based qualifications, therefore we do not hold data on how much levy funding has been spent on Master of Business Administration style executive programmes. The apprenticeships system has deliberately been designed to be employer-led. Employers are best placed to understand their own skills needs and to choose the apprenticeships to develop their own talent – whether that involves recruiting new people or re-training and upskilling existing staff.
