The Future of ApprenticeshipsIntroduction • A bit about me • Holts Group (Holts Lapidary, Holts Academy, Jewellery Innovations, Holition) • Holts Academy as a training provider • So why an Apprentice? • The SME issue - The Holt Review
The Future of ApprenticeshipsThe Review – key points of feedback • Confusion and misperception • Providers not delivering to SME need • Lack of transparency • Difficult navigation • Preparedness of young people • Lack of vocational skills/IAG at schools
The Future of ApprenticeshipsKey recommendations • Communications – changing perceptions • Employer led system – freedom to shape own provision • Better and more relevant training provision • Easier navigation and transparency on costs • Emotional ownership through costs via employers • Employers working with schools
The Future of Apprenticeships How National Skills Academy may provide a solution • Good model for • mobilising employer demand • articulating the skills needs • Employers setting themselves up as providers – delivering to themselves as well as their sectors • Employers getting together to self-determine what the local provider should deliver • Apprenticeship community
