But starting in 2017, The Report claims £1. 2 billion from the levy Spent on jobs "with minimal training and low wages paint" or "rebadging" of jobs already, and of the employers offered apprenticeships.

In its first full year of operation, the levy increases to £2. 7bn, and this increase is expected to be around £3. 4bn by 2023-24. to spend

the training is used to often, the "existing adult workers, who warns, rather than the promotion of Young People in The World of work," The Report said.

The education think-tank says it is an insufficiently clear definition of what should provide the training, so much so That the "brand words".

It is not "as described, 50% of the courses, the say since 2017 as a" fake", you refer to the help youth get started in a skilled job or profession".

The Think Tank of the analysis, the £235m from the tax for the support of the "low-skill" - roll-bar -, staff -, shop-checkout-workers and those in "basic Office Administration ".
