Overview
Between 2008-09 and 2012-13, the number of people starting apprenticeships rose from 239,900 to 510,200, a staggering 113% increase. At the same time, the breadth of apprenticeships available to school leavers (and others) has expanded rapidly, meaning that the traditional view of apprenticeships – manual trades, in the main – has become outdated.
Higher apprenticeships, degree apprenticeships and a multitude of new skill areas have given school leavers more choice than they’ve had for years, but – along with the mire of apprentice funding – the landscape has become ever more complicated for employers.
This training course will equip you with the knowledge that you need to be able to establish a new apprenticeship programme, scale up an existing programme or re-focus your programme for excellence.
