Excellence for learnings, value for employers

How independent training providers can deliver the workforce of the future

Paul Warner 2022

Skills development matters for national economic productivity, business growth, social mobility and social inclusion. Particularly when faced with the economic damage inflicted by the 2020/21 pandemic, it is more important than ever that all the operational and delivery tools at the disposal of policymakers are correctly used to their full effect to play a part in bringing this about.

This report seeks to examine the role and value of independent provision within the broader English skills system and its contribution to national skills and economic and inclusion priorities. It explains and examines the role of ITPs, identifies areas where the system fails to act in the best interests of learners, and makes recommendations to policymakers and others about how the expertise of ITPs could be best used to improve the effectiveness of England’s system of technical training.
