The DfE has announced the launch of a consultation seeking views on how new flexi-job apprenticeship schemes could be run, which were announced in the Budget. The flexi-job apprenticeship schemes would enable an apprentice to work across a range of projects and with different employers to gain the full skills and experience they need to complete their programme. The consultation closes on 1 June 2021. This article highlights concerns that the flexi-job plans may affect the operation of some current apprenticeship training agencies (ATAs).
