When the firm collapsed, apprentices\u00a0told HuffPost UK how they were kept in the dark about their pay.<\/p>\n<p>The DfE spokesman said: \u201cWe have taken steps to protect learners by transferring the training of all Carillion apprentices to the Construction Industry Training Board.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rayner said some apprentices still have not been contacted, however.<\/p>\n<p>She said:\u00a0\u201cIf the Government has finally caved in to pressure from Labour and trade unions and agreed to continue paying the Carillion apprentices, that is welcome news for hundreds of people who had been left to face the prospect of their wages drying up by the end of the week. We hope that this is the final u-turn and this time they stick to their promises.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe apprentices have done nothing but work hard for jobs and qualifications, yet they have faced the threat of being abandoned without pay, work or continued training. It is a shame that Ministers have created such fear and uncertainty by failing to give clear and simple guarantees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven now, it is not clear that every Carillion apprentice has been contacted. The Government must ensure that they are all able to complete their training and get the skills that both they and the wider economy need.\u201d<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.co.uk\/entry\/apprenticeshiputurn_uk_5a70c9c4e4b0a6aa48740a8f\" class=\"autohyperlink\">www.huffingtonpost.co.uk\/entry\/apprenticeshiputurn_uk_5a70c9c4e4b0a6aa48740a8f<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carillion Collapse: Ministers Perform U-Turn On Apprenticeship Wages The Government has performed a U-turn and vowed Carillion apprentices will continue to be paid beyond January, according to reports.
