The UK government has outlined measures to increase efficiency in its apprenticeship offering through fully funded apprenticeships for people aged under 25 employed by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
It will be funded from an extra £725m for the Growth and Skills Levy.
The film and TV sectors were highly critical of the apprenticeship levy introduced under the previous Conservative government, calling it not fit for purpose, with a lack of agility to suit the short-term contract nature of the industry and unsustainable administrative costs.
The apprenticeship reform was outlined in the autumn budget, delivered on November 26 by chancellor Rachel Reeves.
