Implications- Employers Employers are seen by the Government as critical for the success of these reforms. Employers will become the direct purchasers of apprenticeship and adult training not our centres Evidence of direct employer involvement in the design and assessment of all vocational qualifications is expected and, in the case of the new apprenticeship qualifications, essential. The reformed level 3 qualifications, endorsed by and developed with employers, will form the substantive part of the new study programmes Any Questions?
