In September 2025, we held a 6-week consultation exercise that sought views from stakeholders, including training and tertiary education providers, industry representatives, employers, learners and local authorities, to help shape the new programme.

In February 2026 we reported on the outcome of the consultation, and on the key next steps in developing and implementing the new apprenticeship programme 2027.

The events

We are inviting apprenticeship providers, employers, training professionals, and sector partners to take part in a series of engagement events across Wales.

These sessions will test and refine the design of the new apprenticeship programme, ensuring it is responsive, resilient, and aligned with the needs of learners, employers, and the wider Welsh economy.

By taking part, you will help shape a programme that supports high‑quality learning, meaningful progression, and sustainable skills development for the future workforce.
