Okay, great. I'd like to go on to the links between employers and educators, and the fact that, in our evidence from Careers Wales and some of the evidence I gathered—I've spoken the national training federation, I've spoken to ColegauCymru—what's clear is…

Okay. I'm looking for short answers now, if anybody else wants to speak, so I can move onto careers advice. Is everybody done, Chair?

The funding issue is the fact that if you want them expanded, somebody's got to pay for them, and the Welsh Government aren't going to rapidly expand degree apprenticeships because the money's not there to do it.

But there's a funding issue there, isn't there, Dr Walters?

Diolch, Cadeirydd. I'd just like to follow up on apprenticeships as well. We've talked about making them quicker and getting people into work fast. One of the other issues is that, if you do A-levels, there's a clear pathway into university and to a degree…

I think there's a concern about sustainability now, because Engage to Change has come to the end, and they are looking at legacy programmes to try and embed this, and they're still looking for somebody to do that. Are you optimistic that this could be…

Recommendation 10 of the report—I mentioned young people not in education, employment or training. I also mentioned those learners with additional learning needs. There's a fantastic project that has just run its course in Cardiff University called Engage to…

And I feel strongly, to break down those barriers, you've got have that co-operative working, but you've got to have someone offering something someone else wants, and a mutual exchange. And I think Careers Wales, with your capacity, is limited, so rather…

What I would particularly like to see is FE and schools working together. I wonder if Careers Wales might be the facilitator, might be the conductor of the orchestra, rather than actually play the instruments. So, you've got FE and schools liaising, with you…

Well, I found—. I think we've got to be careful about putting too much expectation on the commission as well. But I did find that there were very good pockets of good practice. For example, NPTC Group of Colleges and Llanidloes High School, for example, gave…

No, you can't direct it, and I think the commission for tertiary education and research will have a role in the direction of it, but can you give me some examples of that, then?

Diolch, Cadeirydd. The Welsh Government’s 'Young Person’s Guarantee national conversation report: phase 1’ found there was a general acknowledgement that schools had failed to prepare young people for what lay ahead, and that careers advice was sporadic and…

Yes. I wonder if you could answer the question about the range of apprenticeships that are on offer and the connectivity between levels 4, 5, 6 and 7. It doesn't seem to be very well connected, and degree apprenticeships are thin on the ground, although the…
