The Future Apprenticeships Support Programme helps managers, teachers, trainers, leaders and those involved in governance to deliver the new apprenticeships system. The programme consists of three strands:
- Delivering the new apprenticeship standards – through support for curriculum development and teaching, learning and assessment strategies.
- Supporting employer engagement – two-way street relationships between employers and providers.
- Supporting leaders and those involved in governance to grow apprenticeships.
The Leadership Hub is designed to be the “one place” where leaders, managers and those involved in governance can find a range of support for personal and organisational development. This includes courses on strategy and vision, organisational management, curriculum design and delivery, people and resource management, entrepreneurialism and commercialisation, and research.
Learning Technology plays a key role in excellent vocational teaching and learning and digital skills are an essential part of the occupational expertise required in any workplace. Particular care has been taken to ensure these programmes are informed by the recommendations of The Further Education Learning Technology Action Group (FELTAG), our own strategic consultation on learning technology and research conducted in the sector.
