However, the statutes that set up what was originally the IfA then IfATE were important. If something is buried deep inside the Department for Education and there is no statutory responsibility or declaration that employers are at the heart of apprenticeships and need to be there, and if you do not take explicit account of professional bodies and unions—all the major institutional players that determine whether a vocational training system will work—then you are laying out trouble for the future.
