Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 3:49 pm on 12 March 2019.
Finally, I met with Universities Wales yesterday about degree apprenticeships, and they said that they are quite frustrated about the very narrow confines through which people can access that money in relation to the Welsh Government's priorities of digital, and they're telling me that people are going in their droves to England to take part in these apprenticeship opportunities at a degree level. That means we're losing our brightest and our best to England for these degree apprenticeships. So, you said you were potentially going to be expanding the areas through which people could access degree apprenticeships. When are you going to do that? Because Universities Wales is not a body that usually gets quite het up about things, but they seemed very animated about this yesterday. If they are feeling confined by what they can offer here in Wales, then, surely, we need to be addressing that.
