Transport Infrastructure Skills Strategy - Sir Terry Morgan

Sir Terry Morgan, Chairman of Crossrail – a £15bn project – started as an apprentice. His own experience of the value of apprenticeships is demonstrated with what Crossrail has achieved by providing people similar opportunities to enter the profession. These lessons are probably the key reason the Secretary of State, Rt Hon Patrick McLoughlin, asked Terry to develop the Transport Infrastructure Skills Strategy, published in January 2016. He gives an insight into this, how the UK compares to Germany in apprenticeships, rebalancing education and economy, and how employers should take forward the new Apprenticeship Levy.
