Peter Finegold, Head of Education and Skills at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, comments on the Government's Spring Statement:"We welcome the Chancellor's plan to bring forward the £700 million package for companies to use the apprenticeship levy with greater flexibility, including passing on some of their levy investment to their supply chains.
Equally, his commitment to exempt PhD roles for visa caps will contribute to maintaining the UK's world-leading position for research. This will not, however, address persistent shortages of highly skilled technicians that engineering employers continue to face."
