apprentices

access funding, recruit candidates and manage their program

Digital apprenticeship service
There are 2 different types of apprenticeships to choose from:
• apprenticeship standards - each standard covers a specific occupation
and sets out the core skills, knowledge and behaviours an apprentice
will need; they are developed by employer groups known as
‘trailblazers’
• apprenticeship frameworks - a series of work-related vocational and
professional qualifications, with workplace- and classroom-based
training
Apprenticeship Standards
• The standards show what an
apprentice will be doing and
the skills required of them, by
job role.
• A standard is considered
ready for delivery when it has
an approved assessment plan
and a funding cap assigned.
• Standards are developed by
employer groups known as
‘trailblazers’.
Employers involved in trailblazer groups
Huidige knelpunten
• Delayed policy decisions - Is there enough time and information for strategic decision-making and
implementation before May 2017?
• Employer engagement - Providers largely accepted the underpinning policy principle that puts employers at
the centre of the new Apprenticeship system but felt the slow release of information was impeding their
ability to plan timely offers and engage with employers rapidly.
• Standards content and quality - Providers expressed concern over both the lack of qualifications in many
Standards and the resulting lack of skills portability and transferability for individual Apprentices.
• End-Point Assessment system - Providers regretted the general lack of information and understanding about
how the end-point assessment system will work, how much it will cost and how the overall quality of endpoint assessments will be monitored.
• Volumes of Apprenticeships - Providers reported that schools are beginning to be more open to
Apprenticeships as a viable option for school leavers and young people and parents are talking about them.
However, providers reported finding some employers unwilling to engage.
