英国政府宣布改革学徒制资金方案，计划从2027年9月学年开始分阶段实施，对25岁以上员工的培训成本提高25%。1根据新规，16至24岁学徒的培训资金将覆盖100%成本，而25岁以上学徒仅覆盖75%。1这一举措旨在扭转过去十年青年学徒开始数下降40%的趋势。1
该方案由增长与技能征税提供资金支持，该征税池年度规模达40亿英镑，由年工资成本超过300万英镑的大型雇主按年工资账单的0.5%缴纳。1工作和养老金部发言人表示，政府已承诺为16至24岁学徒创建50,000个额外学徒岗位，并引入2,000英镑的雇佣支付。1
英国青年就业形势严峻，未就业、未在教育或培训中的青年人数已接近100万。1劳工党基础学徒制计划在前八个月仅招收160名年轻人，远低于议会任期内30,000人的目标。1
The UK government is proposing to reform apprenticeship funding by increasing training costs for workers aged 25 and above by 25 percent, aiming to encourage employers to prioritize young apprentices.1 Under the new scheme set to roll out in phases from September 2027, apprentices aged 16-24 would have 100 percent of their training costs covered, while those 25 and older would receive only 75 percent funding.1
The measure responds to a significant decline in youth apprenticeship starts over the past decade, which has fallen by 40 percent.1 According to the government, nearly one million young people in England are currently not in employment, education, or training.1 The Department for Work and Pensions stated that the initiative aims to create 50,000 additional apprenticeship places for 16-24 year-olds and will introduce a £2,000 employer hiring payment.1
The funding reform will be supported by an annual Growth and Skills Levy of £4 billion, with large employers—those with annual payroll costs exceeding £3 million—required to contribute 0.5 percent of their annual wage bill to this pool.1 The Labour government's flagship apprenticeship program has attracted only 160 young people in its first eight months, falling significantly short of its parliamentary term target of 30,000 participants.1
