    Skills Federation has submitted a response to the government consultation about the introduction of V Levels and Level 2 pathways.

    In our response we urge DfE to reconsider the ambitious timeframe and propose that the new qualifications need to:

    • Support learners to develop the skills needed for the modern workplace
    • Form integral elements of coherent progression routes to further study and to work
    • Be well understood by young people, parents/carers, employers and the general population
    • Be embedded within a broader curriculum that equips young people with the essential transferable and employability skills needed for the workplace.
