Really interesting - especially with the coming consultation on employment status Self-employment looks a bad model, whether you care about workers rights, quality of service, or both! Treating workers poorly means poor customer service www.citizensadvice.org.uk/policy/publi...

Fantastic to hear the Chancellor make the case for local apprenticeship services, to support employers and young people, backed by £100m of devolved funding. We made the case for this in our recent @thefabians.bsky.social report www.fabians.org.uk/publication/pathways-to-apprenticeships/

How do we fix England’s pre-apprenticeship system? 🧑‍🏭 The government is seeking to support more young people into apprenticeships as part of an effort to tackle the youth jobs crisis. If we are to achieve this, we must build effective pathways into apprenticeships.
