I have been running an apprenticeship program for many years and had a good hard look at this.
The new money is going mostly on those who are:
Ethic classification fits the equal opportunities profile for funding
Those who speak English has a second language
Those who have learning difficulties with Basic English and Maths
Convicts or those soon to be released from custody
Most of the “train to gain” training places will be in carer work or other low skilled, low paid jobs.
Has for the A-level program, they have been free for most people for the last 30 years. The under 25 have not had to pay for there training for the past year.
There nothing new in this plan, most people will not feel any benefits from it. What we need is what we had 27 years ago; we need the skill centres to be reopened.
People need real skills, they need help with the basics like driving courses for the long term employed, not 5 good GCSE’s. (Practical skills not academic one’s)
I am sure in 18 months time the government will point out what a wonderful success this program is, but yet again, they will forget to point out that these training places and funding is open to all EEC citizens living in the UK.
My feeling on this is simple, this program and its £4.3bn investment will be spend on improving academic standards and teaching our immigrates basic English.
“British jobs for British workers?” I don’t think so.

MABEY YOU SHOULD DO A COURSE ON REEDEN AN RITIN AN SPELLIN BEFORE YOU CRITISSIZE OTHERS.
So what you are saying is academic training is better than vocational training?
I must get 40 cv’s a week from people with degrees, all of them useless.
Continue academic training is a waste of time for a lot of young people.
Parents and teachers should face up to that, not everyone is going to be a doctor.
