Labour's flagship apprenticeship scheme enrols only 160 young people

Labour's flagship apprenticeship scheme enrols only 160 young people

Labour's flagship apprenticeship programme has only managed to sign up 160 individuals during its initial eight-month period, significantly missing its goal of 30,000. The Fabian Society, a Labour-affiliated thinktank, warned this puts the government's "skills revolution" at risk. Overall apprenticeship starts for under-25s are about 40% lower than a decade ago.
