Under Greening, the education department will take over responsibility for apprenticeships and higher education, currently overseen by the business department.
The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), which has responsibility for apprenticeships, has itself only taken on 89 apprentices since it was formed in 2009.
Education will be beefed up under Greening, taking over responsibility for apprenticeships and higher education, currently overseen by the business department.
The recent decision to move the responsibility for apprenticeships from the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS) to the Department for Education (DfE) is hoped to bring about positive change by providing greater continuity from schools and colleges through to the workplace.
The programme by diversity charity Creative Access was funded by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (Bis) until June this year, when responsibility for the apprenticeship and internship agenda was moved into the Department for Education under Theresa May's new government.
It lasted only two years until the next shuffle, with Lord Mandelson back in government, saw the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills coming into being, assuming responsibility for skills, apprenticeships and higher and further education.
Third, while using the tax system to distribute funding may appeal to some large employers who are keen to take responsibility for their own apprenticeship programme, it will disenfranchise small- and medium-sized businesses.
Responsibility for the apprenticeship had been contracted to a private training provider which took responsibility for delivering training and that the various elements of the apprenticeship were completed.
It is a platform for apprenticeship.
These apprenticeship funds then pay for apprenticeship programs.
