EngineeringUK has launched an inquiry into apprenticeships in engineering, manufacturing and technology. The inquiry is being carried out in partnership with former Labour and Conservative ministers Lord Knight and Lord Willetts. Employers in the sector - as well as training providers and young people - are being urged to get involved in the call for evidence by submitting their views, evidence or ideas to improve the career pathway into the sector. Despite a "modest uptick" in numbers last year, engineering-related apprenticeship starts in England are still 9% lower than in 2014/15. The uptake varies by subject with a "worrying" 34% decline for engineering and manufacturing technologies, EngineeringUK said. |
