Abolish apprenticeship fees and grow apprenticeships

What this means

• This is a promise made by the Labour Party in its 2024 general election manifesto, published in November 2024.[source]
• Labour committed to abolishing the fees that apprentices currently pay, removing a financial barrier for young people entering trades.[source]
• The party also pledged to increase grants paid to employers, aiming to encourage more businesses to take on apprentices in craft and construction.[source]
• The goal is to grow the number of young people entering craft and construction apprenticeships, sectors important to housing and infrastructure.[source]
• This commitment remains a promise only. No delivery date was set, and it has not yet been enacted, so voters can use it to hold Labour to account.[source]
