General Ministerial scrutiny—Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Welsh Language

…creates a revenue stream, as it were, for the UK Government. But actually, the way that we have funded apprenticeships in Wales has been predicated on a source of funding that is no longer available to us—that's the challenge that we face, and we still want to have an ambitious policy in the space…

…because it's now filtered through Barnett. So, that link is broken. We have a different way of funding apprenticeships in Wales anyway, which obviously provides a significantly higher proportion of Government funding, and that's where the mismatch arises, because the scheme was designed in a way…

General Ministerial scrutiny—Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Welsh Language

…very briefly. In your letter, Cabinet Secretary, of 30 April, you wrote to the committee about the apprenticeship levy. No doubt, in the discussions you've had with business, it would have come up; it's certainly come up in the discussions I've had. One of the most startling things about your letter…

…businesses already in Wales, but also to attract investment; and, thirdly, to refresh our approach to employability and skills. I think in terms of monitoring the outcomes of those, those are all things that generally feed into economic output data generally in any case. Part of the challenge around…

…people to train. That's why I think growing your own locally makes a lot of sense. There are some great apprenticeship courses, there are some great programmes in places like Hywel Dda and Betsi, where they really are doing that. And, of course, things like the opening of the new nursing facility…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Welsh Language: 'Cymraeg 2050'—Our priorities

…leaving Wales. In terms of increasing the daily use of Welsh, there was another missing word, namely 'apprenticeships'. I'm sure that you will share the view that there is a strong connection between increasing use of the language and the need to develop bilingual workforces, and the fact that…

…around us. But also in Wales we're just about to launch a series of built environment degree apprenticeships as well, which Wales will be the last part of the UK to offer.

…in their areas. But I think for me, and for getting younger people in, we also need to think about apprenticeships, not just about people who are qualified—so, how do we get people to learn on the job rather than that academic route. There needs to be other routes to get into this profession. So…
