Background
Defunding leadership and management apprenticeships will damage productivity, limit social mobility and weaken public services. These cuts remove proven routes for developing effective managers, risking skills gaps across the workforce. Employers warn that without trained line managers, young people entering work will lack the support, mentoring and progression pathways needed to build successful careers, and progression routes for young people will not become available.
