Research
The three organisations have all undertaken research on how to improve apprenticeships and skills training courses and open up access for learners.
Questioning is likely to focus on the standard of current provision and what good quality training looks like, financial and other barriers to training and the wider skills system.
The inquiry
The Committee's inquiry was launched in November and is examining the quality of all forms of Government funded apprenticeships and skills training, as well as the effectiveness of the quality monitoring regime.
