Quality & quantity Richard Review quality of apprenticeships More control sits with employers Frameworks to Standards Employer-led trailblazer groups 10 or more employers incl. SMEs Gov t target 3 million starts by 2020 Increase in higher level apprenticeships Increase in diversity within apprenticeships
The Apprenticeship Levy 0.5 % payable by large employers with 3 million pay bill Devolved nations receive their cut Funds in England used to pay for apprenticeship training & end point assessment 10% top up from gov t 3-way legal agreements between Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA), Employers & providers 15 funding bands different for frameworks & standards Digital levy account to administer payments Payments made to providers monthly with 24-month expiry on funds Incentives for 16-18 year olds & those on a local authority education, health and care plan Co-investment funding 90% Gov t / 10% employer
Challenges, successes, opportunities and advice 31
Challenges Speed of approving the new standards Regular changes in policy disruptive Lack of understanding from those outside the sector Availability of End Point Assessment (EPA) organisations Allocated funding bands for frameworks vs standards Supply chain engagement Readiness of providers to respond to employer needs Uncertainties following the general election Brexit Perceptions of apprenticeships
Successes Working with the BIFM Collaborating with other like-minded employers Consulting with Gov t to positively affect change Developing an apprenticeship that truly fits employer needs Enhanced development of those involved learning curve
Opportunities Existing staff development Higher/Degree apprenticeships More flexibility within standards to shape the programme to meet the needs of employers More control over quality of delivery commercial agreement Creation of quality development programmes Ability to attract and retain a diverse mix of talent
Advice Understand the mechanics of the levy within your organisation Build long lasting relationships with quality providers Implement a standard commercial agreement - led by the employer Understand what skills you need to develop for the future where do apprenticeships fit in Review your current training budget conversions to apprenticeships Network with other employers to share best practice Get involved in the trailblazers understand any gaps in your business Be audit proof clear processes in place
