Apprenticeships & Training Conference’s Post

⚠️📢 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

💸 Bad Experience with the Apprenticeship Levy? Here's how we can help... When we first started looking into offering Management Apprenticeships, we looked at what was being offered within the industry and noticed a few things that made us scratch our heads. We then did some research into our own network and man of our connections working in people development had largely negative experiences with Levy Providers, such as: 🚩 Low retention rates amongst apprentices 🚩 'One Size Fit All' generic content 🚩 Virtual only delivery 🚩 Additional costs for psychometrics, administration, expenses etc. Any of this sound familiar? At Penguin, we always strive to deliver VALUE and when it comes to our Management Apprenticeships, we invest our time and expertise to: 🌟 Review your existing content to avoid duplication of training methodology whilst keeping within the Apprenticeship framework. 🌟 Layering your organisation's culture, processes, terminology, everyday scenarios etc. onto the Apprenticeship framework to bring a more tailored programme and learning experience. 🌟 We offer classroom, virtual and/or blended delivery options depending on your learning preferences. 🌟 No hidden or additional costs ensuring EVERYTHING is covered by the funding from your levy pot.
