The Chancellor has given his Spring Statement. Of most interest from a heritage perspective were his statements on training:
‘As our economy changes, we must ensure people have the skills they need to seize the opportunities ahead. So we’ve committed over £500 million a year to T-Levels, the most ambitious post-16 reforms in 70 years. And from next month £50 million will be available to help employers prepare for the rollout of T-Level work placements. Last week, the Education Secretary and I chaired the first meeting of the National Retraining Partnership between Government, the TUC and the CBI.’
