More on the Q. of #skills-based vs. qualification-based employment:

There remains a significant but falling premium for UK #graduates, in part be due to access to the #professions whose degree requirements remain pretty robust.

However, its also worth noting that non-degree employment seems to be shifting into high(er) skills, albeit at a gradual rate (replacing 'over-qualified' graduates?).

Does a slow shift to highly skilled non-degree holders indicate the success of #apprenticeships?

Have you ever heard of the Apprentice Riots on what became known as 'Evil May Day' in 1517?

Fascinating bit of history. Thankfully the rising cost of living, xenophobia, low wages and poor living conditions are a thing of the past.

A reminder! APAR approaching...

From the 1 August 2023, when an organisation receives recognition for a standard from Ofqual or the Office for Students (OfS) they will automatically be placed onto the list of approved EPAOs. DfE will merge this list with the Register of Apprenticeship Training providers (ROATP) and rename it the ‘apprenticeship providers and assessment register’ (APAR).
