Employer Engagement –
Selling Higher Apprenticeships
Business Secretary Vince Cable said:
“Through the Higher Apprenticeship Fund we can target sectors where skills
shortages are threatening to choke off growth.”
“They also help us break down the doors of professions that are not representative of
the society in which we live. It cannot be right for example that only 4 per cent of
registered commercial airline pilots are women.”
•Employers will benefit from world class, nationally accredited technical training
delivered in the workplace
•NAS will focus its marketing and sales staff on new employers in our priority sectors.
Promoting progression routes through to Higher Apprenticeships
•Additional support for up to 40,000 SMEs incentivised to recruit apprentices into their
business for the first time (16-24year olds) – AGE initiative
•By August 2012, we expect to launch a new service standard for providers that deal
with SMEs and a new employer toolkit
•Employer Ownership Pilot offers opportunities for employers to bid directly for
funding to support their sector
National Apprenticeship Service
Information, Advice and Guidance
• NAS Higher Apprenticeship pages are being updated
• By 2012 an Advice and Guidance agreement with the National Careers
Service will be developed and implemented
• Revaluate the London progression trial and consider national roll out
• Marketing collateral developed by Higher Apprenticeship partners and NAS
including web sites; podcasts; brochures; case studies etc.,
• Inspiring the Future is a free service which allows people from all sectors
and professions to work with state schools and colleges to help young
people achieve their potential. We are encouraging employers to sign up as
Apprenticeship Ambassadors. Further information can be found at:
