Why are we reforming Apprenticeships? • To meet the needs of the future economy and businesses. • To ensure Apprenticeships are more rigorous and responsive to the needs of employers following Richard Review • Apprenticeships viewed with the same esteem as University • The changes will build on existing strengths What are the main aims of the reforms? High quality Higher expectations of English and Maths, more assessment at end of Apprenticeship and introducing grading. Simple Complex frameworks to be replaced by standards of around one page written by employers. Employer driven Ensuring rigorous training that will support economic growth What changes are we making to Apprenticeships? • Standards designed by employers will replace existing Frameworks. • New standards will be clear and concise, written by employers and no more than two pages long. • All Apprenticeships will have an end-point assessment. • Apprenticeships will be graded for the first time. • All Apprenticeships will last a minimum of 12 months. How will we deliver the reforms? • Trailblazers are leading the way in implementing the reforms. • Trailblazers are led by large and small employers. • Over 400 employers are involved in the Trailblazers so far. • They are building on what already exists to ensure that professionalism and quality in training are the primary focus. * From September 2014 ** From January 2015 (all others TBC from summer 2015) Sector Accountancy Job Role Sector Professional Accounting Technician Automotive Retail Motor Vehicle Service and Dental Health Maintenance Dental Practice Technician Manager Aviation Digital Industries** Professional Accountant Actuarial Job Role Sector Airside Operator Butchery Actuarial Technician Aerospace Aerospace Manufacturing Fitter Mechatronics Automotive* Maintenance Technician Control /Technical Support Engineer Construction Electrical /Electronic Support Engineer Manufacturing Engineer Product Design and Development Engineer Product Design and Development Technician Butchery Highway Electrician/ Service Operative Cyber Intrusion Analyst Licensed Conveyancer Digital Media Technology Practitioner Early Years Dental Technician Dental Laboratory Assistant Sector Energy and Utilities Utilities Engineering Technician Land-based Engineering Water Process Technician Financial* Services Relationship Manager (Banking) Electrotechnical** Energy and Utilities** Early Years Educator Installation Electrician /Maintenance Electrician Power Network Craftsperson Golf Greenkeeping Hospitality Housing Insurance Golf Greenkeeper Senior Chef: Culinary Arts Senior Chef: Production Cooking Housing Management Insurance Practitioner Job Role Land-based Service Engineer Land-based Service Engineering Technician Law Paralegal Financial Services Administrator Food and Drink Food and Drink Maintenance Digital Marketer Engineer Craftsperson Dental Health Job Role Chartered Legal Executive Software Tester Conveyancing Technician Craft Sector Software Developer Network Engineer Construction Technician Conveyancing Job Role Solicitor Life and Industrial Sciences** Laboratory Technician Science Manufacturing Technician Maritime Newspaper and Journalism Property Services Rail Design Able Seafarer (deck) Junior Journalists Property Maintenance Operative Railway Engineering Design Technician What funding model are we trialling in 2014/15? • We are trialling our funding approach through the Trailblazers to learn lessons for future delivery. • For every £1 that an employer invests in training an apprentice, the Government will pay £2 up to a cap. • Extra funding will be provided to support small businesses and for younger apprentices aged 16-18. English and maths (Level 1 & 2) will also be fully funded. • To ensure support for a wide range of apprentices, a cap is set on the amount of core funding that we can provide. • Each standard will be allocated to one of five caps AY14/15 Funding Model for Trailblazers Maximum Core Government contribution (£2 for every £1 from employer) Employer contribution if the maximum cap is claimed Additional Recruiting a incentive 16-18 year payments old For a small business (<50) For successful completion Maximum total Government contribution Cap 1 Cap 2 Cap 3 Cap 4 Cap 5 £2,000 £3,000 £6,000 £8,000 £18,000 £1000 £1,500 £3,000 £4,000 £9,000 £600 £900 £1,800 £2,400 £5,400 £500 £500 £900 £1,200 £2,700 £500 £500 £900 £1,200 £2,700 £3,600 £4,900 £9,600 £12,800 £28,800 What funding model are we trialling in 2014/15? • Employers will select a lead provider to coordinate their training and assessment delivery • Employers will agree a price for their training and assessment delivery with their chosen providers • Incentive payments are paid during the first year: • for 16-18 year old - 50% at 3 months and 50% at 12 months • For small businesses – 100% at 3 months • For completion - at the end of the Apprenticeship • Employers have complete flexibility on what they use any incentive payments for. • All SFA funding, including the incentive payments will be routed through the lead provider What is the timetable for reform? • The Trailblazers will pave the way for full implementation of the reforms during 2015/16 and 2016/17. • The aim is that all new Apprenticeship starts from 2017/18 will be on the new programme. • As the new standards are developed and agreed, we will cease funding Apprenticeships under former frameworks.
