More apprentices, more recognition. Apprentices working in key sectors (notably the industry) will gain the title of “technician” after completion of their course. David Willetts this is a way of recognizing this accomplishment – the same way a student becomes a “graduate” after university. Besides, 3,000 apprenticeships will be created in the midlands over the next three years, in green technologies, business skills and high-tech engineering – within the framework of a partnership between Birmingham Chamber of Commerce and Birmingham Metropolitan College. This is a first step towards a more ambitious goal: according to the Minister, since it was elected, the coalition government has set aside funding for an extra 50,000 apprenticeships, many of them in engineering, construction and manufacturing. Bureaucracy will also be decreased for businesses offering apprenticeship places.
