Labour — Shipley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 July 2025

Debate

Further Education Institutions

Contribution

I entirely agree that the FE college apprenticeships—these other routes—are important for disadvantaged children. I will expand on that in a moment. I am delighted that this Labour Government are committed to equipping the workforce with the skills they need to rebuild Britain, including through the establishment of Skills England. I hope that Skills England will encourage and facilitate strong partnerships between colleges and employers. Perhaps the Minister might like to say whether we could go further in empowering local areas and colleges to tailor their provision to local labour market needs and community demands.
