Will the Cabinet Secretary provide an update on the Welsh Government's progress in implementing each of the 33 recommendations contained in their review of vocational qualifications published in 2023?
We accepted the recommendations earlier in the year from the Vocational Qualifications Review including proposals for an approach to ‘made-for-Wales’ vocational qualifications.
We are progressing discussions about how best to align these with related strategic commitments, including our economic mission, net zero agenda, related skills development requirements and increasing participation.
We are working strategically with both Qualifications Wales and the recently established Medr to progress these recommendations, emphasising greater collaboration between education providers, industry and employers to ensure learners are better placed to develop the skills they need to reach their full potential.
