Portable flexi-jobs apprenticeship pilot flops.
Providers hit less than 1% of their target with just 2 months to go.
Flexi-Job, 'Portable' apprenticeships, T=Levels - So much investment, time and effort for providers and colleges to set these schemes up, market them to employers and learners, and it all seems to be for very little return.
If the government insists on putting these programmes together, their approach needs to change. Proper, localised, data-driven pilots with clear success criteria. A launch strategy with DfE marketing baked in to raise awareness.
And funding. Fund them properly.
Rant ends....
