What impact its withdrawal of funding for many adult modern apprenticeships will have on training providers.

Skills Development Scotland continues to work with training providers to ensure that no individual already undertaking training is adversely affected by the recent changes.
We recognise that this change in approach will have the greatest impact on a small number of training providers who have traditionally received the majority of their income from public subsidy. However, early indications show that they are already seeking alternative forms of income rather than simply relying on public funding as their primary income source.
Public investment must support the provision of the best training for individuals in Scotland. This will continue to provide many training providers with opportunities to work with the government in the delivery of its skills ambitions.
