Prime minister David Cameron?said: ?The greatest asset any employer has is their workforce. And by investing in them, they are investing in the success and future of their business.?As a one nation government, we are committed to supporting 3m quality apprenticeships over the next five years ? to help strengthen our economy, deliver the skills that employers need and give millions more hardworking people financial security and a brighter future.? And in order to deliver that target, Cameron announced the establishment of the Apprenticeship Delivery Board.?
