Comment on Would you pay £200 a day to gain work experience? by mariwan

This idea is generated most probably by cash stricken companies, who no less conspire to drive the low income and poor students out of the labour market.

if this to go ahead, I think we are looking at Britain stepping back into Victorian ages where only the rich could become MPs by sheer fact of being rich.

Only time will tell if such notion is worthy of pursuing on behalf of the companies, alas lets see.

Comment on Apprenticeships: getting it right. by Amy Johnson (@amyljohn)

Hello Terry, apologies for the late reply. Funnily enough I was with a contact today who was talking about Apprenticeships for ‘non 16-18 year olds’ and the short answer is that the funding outside of this age group is limited / non existent! However, there is call to address this, certainly from the care sector, who receive a lot of interest in apprenticeships from people outside of this age group. For now government policy is firmly in the camp of youth employment although I do not profess to be an expert and you may find some further information on funding from specific government websites. I’d be interested in understanding how the government expects organisations to manage the advertising, attraction and response to candidates though. In order to receive funding organisations will only want to attract 16-18 year olds and I am not sure how well this sits with the with Age Discrimination legislation.

Amy. Having spent this last year in an enforced break from work due to both the withdrawal of T2G funding and family health issues, I have lost the thread on current funding initiatives.
Is there any apprenticeship funding for the over 25′s and any non appreticeship funding for all age groups?
Following enquiries from potential clients, my primary interest is in Management training at level 2 (Team Leading)and level 3 to meet enquiries who “want their staff trained into Management rather than assessed after the event”. Therefore, I want to develop / deliver bespoke programmes using the Nationally accredited criteria for certification and inject a strong learning / training process the needs for which are derived from a detailed intial Training Needs Analysis
Are you able to update me?
