Regulating Apprenticeships
Friday 28 November, 9.30am-3.30pm

Speakers: Ricardo Espinoza (OECD), Montse Gomendio (Nebrija University, Spain), Tim Leunig (LSE), Baroness Spielman (LSE), Baroness Wolf (KCL)
Over the past 30 years in England, serious efforts have been made to use funding and regulatory levers to improve the quality and quantity of vocational education and training through the medium of apprenticeships. Many have welcomed the public policy interest in expanding high quality apprenticeships. Levers that have been deployed include widening the definition of apprenticeships well beyond the traditional conception, increasingly tight government control of the specification of individual apprenticeship programmes, quality inspection of apprenticeship programmes, an employer levy to generate funds that government recycles back into qualifying apprenticeship programmes, and more.
This workshop evaluates the regulatory approaches chosen, assessing intended and unintended consequences, as well as interaction effects with other policies. The English experience is contrasted with international experience, drawing in particular from Spain and other OECD countries.
