This has got to spread and deepen. It's time that the 50% (by definition) of the less able half of the population is properly educated, and not just in the hope that they will automatically progress to higher levels of learning. Some of my most disappointing times in teaching were when young people had managed to get a Level 2 pass, (5 x GCSE equivalent) often with a lot of support, and were deemed to be good for Level 3, which should be at A Level. But many of them had reached their peak at Level 2, that is what they can do, at least at that stage of their life. They have no choice but to go on to L3, instead of extending their skills at L2. {Funding and 'progression' results preclude this.] These apprenticeships can perhaps be a way to do this.
Not everyone wants or needs a degree, and we seem at last to be dropping Blair's 50% of all school leavers get degrees target. By all means 50% to go onto education away from home, but let it be at the right level.

Absolutely. But many of those craft trades are done by very small - if not one-person - businesses. It's hard to train someone while carrying out your own work. I have had amusing conversations with my car mechanic about his attempts at taking on apprentices - amusing, but depressing.
The ILEA did some interesting on-the-job schemes till Thatcher axed it.They had the scale to both train and provide work.
