Hilariously bad proposal that nobody asked for (No.359) - devolve apprenticeships to local leaders.

This only works if you want to increase bureaucracy, fracture delivery, deepen regional inequality, add costs into a system and turn employers and training providers away from delivering government funded programmes.

Apart from that, it's a phenomenally bad idea in general.
