The All Party Parliamentary Group for Apprenticeships (APPGA) was set up in February 2012 to "To provide a forum for parliamentarians and employers to discuss how to promote the role of high quality apprenticeships, how to ensure that apprenticeships serve as a pathway to a career and how the apprenticeship model can meet the changing skill demands from business". [1]


It is the first All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) dedicated to the advancement of apprenticeships.


The group was initially brought together by EAL, the specialist awarding organization for industry qualifications, and IMI Awards, the awarding organization for the retail motor industry.[2]

Activities

  • To bring Parliamentarians, employers and training providers together with EAL and IMI Awards to discuss how to promote Apprenticeship training to employers.
  • To look at how the current model can meet changing demands in traditional and emerging industries, and how all sectors can benefit from high quality, employer-led Apprenticeship schemes.

Secretariat

Connect Communications, a large political communications company, acts as the groups secretariat. [3]
