  • Increase of over 50% in the number of training places available, via additional workshops and 100+ additional staff

  • More than 600 final year apprentices who were delayed have been fast-tracked to complete their qualification

  • Major additional investment in craft apprenticeships is planned for 2022 and subsequent years
