The CIPD, the professional body for HR and people development, has published a report looking at the apprenticeship levy and its impact on workplace training. Their report, based on survey data from 2000 employers, shows that fewer than a third of levy paying employers say the levy will lead them to increase the amount they spend on training. The CIPD is calling for the apprenticeship levy to be replaced with a broader training levy to enable organisations to fund both apprenticeships and other forms of accredited training which may be better suited to their needs.
