Carillion Collapse: 2,000 Apprentices ‘Left In The Lurch,’ Says Angela Rayner
“domino effect” on small firms who relied on Carillion for business.
Cabinet Office minister David Lidington told the House of Commons on Monday the Government would find placements for apprentices.
He said: “The CITB is going to be extremely active – and will be pressed by ministers to be very active – in ensuring it reaches out to employers and finds spaces for those young men and women as rapidly as possible.”
A Department for Education spokesman added: “We have taken steps to protect learners by transferring the training of Carillion apprentices to the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), and we are grateful to CITB for helping us ensure learners can continue to gain the skills they need.
“We will continue to work closely with the CITB to support apprentices to remain in existing placements or to find new employment with other local organisations so they can complete their training.”
