Road to a quality apprenticeship – a practical guide
The recently published road to a quality apprenticeship provides information to help you achieve a quality experience for your apprentices while maximising the benefits for your business. Take a look to understand more about your role in the apprenticeship journey.
COMING SOON
Improvements to apprentice onboarding
New apprentices that you add to your apprenticeship service account will receive an email requesting them to review and confirm the details of their apprenticeship. Apprentices will be able to refer back to these details during their apprenticeship. They will also have access to guidance on what is expected of them, their provider and you as their employer. These changes will help to make their apprenticeship a quality experience.
Improvements to apprenticeship training and assessment
Within your account, you will be able to select which version of an apprenticeship standard you would like to be delivered by providers and end-point assessment organisations. This will ensure training matches your business needs and your apprentices receive the right training and assessment.
Improvements to transferring and accessing funding
Employers who pay the apprenticeship levy (those with an annual pay bill of more than £3 million) will be able to pledge unspent levy funds (up to their 25% transfer allowance) to support apprenticeships in other businesses.
All businesses will be able to see these pledges on a public website and apply for funding to pay for 100% of their apprenticeship training and assessment costs (up to the funding band maximum).
