England’s apprenticeship system is complex and difficult for employers to understand.

Recommendation
England’s apprenticeship system is complex and difficult for employers to understand. The government must do more to communicate how it works and help employers understand the opportunities available. In its response, 46 DWP should explain what steps it will take to improve awareness and understanding of apprenticeships, including how the growth and skills levy operates. (Recommendation, Paragraph 120)
