Background • Met with Walsall Children’s Services and Showmen’s Guild • Less opportunities for families and family members • Community of young people from Fairground Families highly skilled in • rigging, electrics, lighting and artwork • and very knowledgeable in • H&S, planning, licensing and running events • But mostly without qualifications that may be transferable

  4. Transferable areas for those skills • Live Music shows – gigs and tours • Festivals • Theatres and shows • Corporate events and exhibitions

  5. Apprenticeships as a solution • As these young people are employed then they can be Apprentices • Access to qualifications at no cost • ‘Live Events’ Apprenticeships fit the bill

Live Events Level 3 Unit examples Assist in the preparation and maintenance of a budget for a live event Support the licensing and permissions application for a live event Support venue and stage crew in the preparation of a performance at a live event Contribute to the advancing of tours, shows and events

  8. Potential Barriers........... Fairgrounds work from March to November Traditional model of Apprenticeships – day release

  9. The Creative Apprenticeship consists of the following qualifications: • Level 2 Award in Live Events & Promotion • Technical Certificate In Creative and Cultural Practice • Functional Skills Math's and English

  10. Current delivery method: • Assessor visits once every 3 - 4 weeks (15 hrs in total) to complete the L2 Award • Day Release each week to complete the Tech Cert • 1 hr lesson each week for Functional Skills

  11. Proposed delivery method • Assessor visits Apprentice once every 2 weeks during high season (15 hrs in total) to complete the L2 Award • Tech Cert is achieved during week long intense training during low season • Functional Skills incorporated through teaching and distance learning tasks

  12. Added value to this approach... The cross-fertilisation of ideas Clear progression routes from formal education
