Nadolig Llawen a Blwyddyn Newydd Dda! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎅🎄

⚠️📢 The Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) has proposed retiring the Level 3 and Level 5 Improvement apprenticeships, due to a lower number of new starts. This decision threatens to limit access to vital skills that drive efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness across UK industries. These apprenticeships are unique in offering: ✅ Government-funded pathways for achieving Yellow, Green, and Black Belts in Lean and Six Sigma practices. ✅ Hands-on learning through work-based projects, delivering real business benefits. ✅ A focus on developing a deep understanding of key CI tools and their practical applications, as well as transferable skills such as Change Management, Leadership, and Data Analysis. We are working to rally support to feedback to IfATE the importance of maintaining these apprenticeships, by 9th December via this email: [email protected] 🤝 Please get in touch with Joe ([email protected]) if you'd like support with your email to IfATE (such as an email template). Let’s collaborate to preserve these critical standards! #GLAScommunity

Massive congratulations to Lewis on becoming Branston's first Level 3 improvement practitioner! He has helped site over come frustrations that both himself and his colleagues identified, managing his project through the DMAIC framework with GLAS Business Solutions to deliver some real benefit. We hope this is the first of many opportunities we will see him working on...

Great work by Sree (Sreelakshmy) and Eleana from our back-office team in designing the GLAS banners for our upcoming events! Huw will be promoting GLAS apprenticeships on site at ASDA Wincanton Doncaster tomorrow – if you are on site, please come and say hello! If you are interested in what we can do to raise awareness for apprenticeships or a culture of Continuous Improvement at your site, then please get in touch 😊 #GLAScommunity

Not implying that Huw can sometimes be forgetful with names... ... but Lyndon, from the Improvement apprenticeship at Wincanton B&Q Doncaster, has taken the matter into his own hands, and created a t-shirt with the slogan: "Lyndon not Liam". #LyndonNotLiam #GLAScommunity
