The Previous Recession
• Apprenticeship numbers were in long term decline falling to a low of 53,000 average in learning per year by 1990
• There was little public funding linked to them. The frameworks were sector specific
• The scrapping of the Industrial Training Boards in 1982 ending industry contributions
![Page 4: The Impact of the Recession on Devon’s Apprentices DCTPN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e855503460f94b88501/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Results
• A strong move to full time vocational education in FE Colleges.
• New programmes such as the Youth Training Scheme and the Youth Training programme focused more on getting youngsters into work than skills
• Apprentices were made redundant in many sectors in large numbers.

The Consequences of the Actions
• Industry struggled to recruit young skilled workers when it emerged from recession
• Political parties talk of the lost generation.
• There was an obvious need for a new quality work based training programme
• In 1993 the Government funded Modern Apprenticeship Programme was introduced

Apprenticeships: Exposure to recession
• Can result in a decline in new apprentices being taken on
• Can result in a change in the age profile of apprentices
• Can result in apprentices being made redundant
• Can result in more apprentices moving to new jobs

Factors behind continued growth
• Employer’s do value apprenticeships
• Training has been entirely free for under 19’s and part subsidised for over 19’s
• No National Minimum wage for Apprentices
• Employers learnt from the problems of a skills gap after the last recession

![Page 15: The Impact of the Recession on Devon’s Apprentices DCTPN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e855503460f94b88501/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Apprentices being made redundant
• 2008-9 in the entire South West there were 206 apprentices made redundant.
of these
• Exeter College had 49
• City College Plymouth had 63
The vast majority were in Construction
![Page 16: The Impact of the Recession on Devon’s Apprentices DCTPN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e855503460f94b88501/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Construction Sector
• The most affected with 94 redundancies.
• Hit worst in 2008/9. Then marked improvement
• Figures do not reveal real impact as a number were made redundant on finishing the apprenticeship and so not recorded
• Those who were found new employers not recorded
![Page 17: The Impact of the Recession on Devon’s Apprentices DCTPN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e855503460f94b88501/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Other Sectors Affected
• Engineering
• Hospitality
• Retail
• Estate Agents
Of these 44% did complete their apprenticeship frameworks whilst looking for work
![Page 18: The Impact of the Recession on Devon’s Apprentices DCTPN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e855503460f94b88501/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CONSTRUCTION SKILLSApprenticeships at risk of redundancy in
the South West.• We currently have available a limited amount of funding
for providers who will take on an Apprentice from the South West as an employee due to the apprentice being made redundant and unable to immediately find a new employer.
• The provider will support them at their training centre to complete their skills, EER, Health and Safety as well as the technical Certificate and use the time to find a new employer.
![Page 19: The Impact of the Recession on Devon’s Apprentices DCTPN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e855503460f94b88501/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Other Schemes
• Constructions Skills also took on a company matching member of staff to find new employers for redundant apprentices
• People First SSC for Hospitality, subsidies
• ESF TEAIS Project support of £95 per week for over 25’s maximum 26 weeks
• LSC’s Hardship Fund for under 25’s £95p.w.

Charities
Real Opportunities• A community interest company working
with challenging young people and helping them engage into work or learning.
• Secured private funding to pay any redundant apprentices wages for a further 13 weeks.
![Page 21: The Impact of the Recession on Devon’s Apprentices DCTPN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e855503460f94b88501/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Providers Activities
• Many did re settle existing apprentices with new firms.
• This cuts new starts but held up success rates
• Finished off apprentices wherever possible

Apprentices Changing Jobs
• Marked increase across harder hit sectors especially construction
• Strong link to where there was short time working and wage cuts
• Apprentices switched jobs for more money and usually continued with their training programme
![Page 24: The Impact of the Recession on Devon’s Apprentices DCTPN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e855503460f94b88501/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Impact linked to the Level of Programme being understaken
• Biggest percentage of redundancies was on the level 2 apprentice programmes
• Markedly lower on level 3 advanced apprentice programmes
• There was no evidence of a fall in the numbers wishing to progress to level 4
![Page 25: The Impact of the Recession on Devon’s Apprentices DCTPN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e855503460f94b88501/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
2009/10 the latest statistics
• For Devon and Cornwall learners at Period 12, there were almost 10,500 leavers.
• Only 24 are marked as having left because of redundancy
• 4 subsequently achieved their framework.
• 14 learners are still on programme with a redundant status
![Page 26: The Impact of the Recession on Devon’s Apprentices DCTPN](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e855503460f94b88501/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Key Conclusions• Apprentices fared far better than in previous
recessions
• Employers were keen to ring fence their jobs and secure their skills for the future
• Support funding did help reduce the worst of the impact
• Overall numbers rose during the period, particularly amongst the 19-25 age range
