  9. The Higher Apprenticeship Key Messages: • Semta’s aim is to develop a framework that will provide a flexible, employer led training solutions, to support the development of higher level skills in new and existing technology areas • Many large employers currently operate ‘unofficial’ Higher Apprenticeship. • The new framework will be based on a variety of pathways to accommodate the needs of different sectors. • The new HA will allow greater focus on higher level technical skills- as opposed to leadership/supervisory skills. This is something employers have been asking for • The framework will link to professional accreditation.
