The new institute, launched to ensure apprenticeships deliver the skills that employers need, is now officially established.

Independent from government, Chaired by Antony Jenkins with Peter Lauener at the helm, the Institute for Apprenticeships will support the commitment to deliver three million apprenticeships by 2020.

From April 2018, the Institute will also take on responsibility for technical education.  A wide-ranging consultation on technical qualifications is expected over the summer.
