Quantity. Play on the quantity and quality of professional training: this is the double objective of the government which launched, in November 2010, its strategy for training and apprenticeship (see our dispatch No. 100814). Businesses Secretary Vince Cable and Skills Minister John Hayes committed to increase the budget for apprenticeship to over £1.4bn (€1.65bn) in 2011-2012 (in 2010-2011, it was £1.1bn - €1.3bn). However, they also called on employers to create more apprenticeship places and to follow the example of star companies: British Airways has expanded its engineering apprenticeship scheme and is taking on 120 students this year; British Gas, Jaguar Land Rover and Procter Gamble, which created thousands of new places…. The Ministers announced that they wanted to work with businesses to deliver 100,000 new apprenticeships by 2014. Last year, 280,000 students took on apprenticeship.
