Normal
The proposal still needs to be implemented - it may not happen, especially given the backlash from many sectors.It would also only apply to GSAs after a period of time after the proposal was implemented. It would not be backdated for programmes already in progress. Therefore it is unlikely to impact this cycle's GSA, but might stop the 2026 GSA programmes from being recruited. In any instance where anyone was impacted, firms/employers are likely to take people on as normal and fund the training directly or find alternative ways to train, such as the traditional SQE pre TC model.
