Titles should be given to people with advanced craft skills, in the same way that an academic with a PhD is called "Doctor".

The levels of apprenticeships are "poorly understood" by the public, the think tank says - and introducing titles could be a way of showing people's achievements.

Sign of respect

Those who have vocational qualifications equivalent to a university degree could be known as "craftsman" or "craftswoman", the think tank says.

Don't we already have this - people who trained to be electricians are called, err - electricians. Ditto for plumbers and bricklayers and carpenters etc, etc

Beyond that, the relevant bodies or guilds can assign whatever they wish - we've had JIB grading as an example for a lot of years from core, through approved to technician

All sound a bit hipster and rooted in the "maker" fads we are seeing emerge of late
