  1. Got a new #apprenticeship programme approved last week!

    L4 #DataAnalyst is available for learners to start in September this year (and is taking applications now) and covers #AI #MachineLearning#scripting and tools and mechanisms for effective #DataManagement and control in the modern workplace.

    This is a fully funded (essentially free) #training (for employers in #England) it's based on our existing #DataScience #degree apprenticeship course, where 86% of participants have achieved a 1st!

  2. I've been heard to note previously that my 'resting' 'surprised' and 'disappointed' faces have, over the years, merged in to one and it's this sort of stuff that's caused that situation.

    Government depts, including those who were driving the removal of valued L7 #apprenticeship standards, were a significant part of the huge rush to 'stuff' courses before the funding cutoff deadline.

  4. Are there any local companies providing apprenticeship schemes in their tech teams around the Midlands?

    I’m researching options for young people in the area as some friends’ kids with loads of potential are looking for jobs.

  9. @railpage I'm excited to see some #apprenticeship content on here that's not me!

    I followed the links through from the article though and can't see any apprenticeship vacancies (with Lumo, or at all on the First Careers site), are they still to come?

  10. School leavers will be able to apply to become train drivers after the #UK #government confirmed plans to lower the minimum age from 20 to 18 from 30 June 2026. The change, announced during National #Apprenticeship Week, aims to open up skilled careers to younger people and address workforce shortages, with around a quarter of train drivers due to retire by 2030.

    Legislation to amend the law will be laid in Parliament later this year, as the rail industry prepares for the creation of Great #British #Railways and an expanding publicly owned network. Ministers say the move will help tackle #youth #unemployment, improve diversity and bring the UK into line with countries such as #Germany and #Australia.

    Industry bodies and unions have welcomed the decision, saying it will widen access to well-paid roles, support long-term resilience and allow skills to be passed on to the next generation of drivers.

  11. Botanic Garden apprentices go from beginners to running Wales’ biggest glasshouse

    The Carmarthenshire attraction is marking more than a decade of its horticultural apprenticeship programme during Apprenticeship Week Wales, saying the scheme has helped tackle what it describes as a long‑term skills shortage in the sector.

    Garden says apprentices now run major plant collections

    According to the Garden, some of the apprentices first recruited in 2015 — many with no horticultural experience — now help run the Great Glasshouse, which the Garden describes as the world’s largest single‑span glasshouse. The organisation says apprentices also contribute to maintaining plant collections seen by around 200,000 visitors a year.

    Head of Horticulture, Learning and Nature, Donald Murray, said the programme was launched because the sector was facing “a long‑term workforce challenge”.

    “Fewer young people were entering horticulture yet demand for skilled practitioners to care for living plant collections and landscapes was rising,” he said. “Apprenticeships were a great way to tackle the skills gap.”

    14 apprentices recruited, says Garden

    The Garden says it has recruited 14 apprentices over the past decade, ranging from school leavers to career changers, with around half progressing into full‑time roles. According to the organisation, former apprentices now lead specialist areas including the Great Glasshouse and the Double Walled Garden.

    The Garden says its current apprentices follow a structured two‑year programme involving seasonal, hands‑on learning and rotational placements across its 568‑acre site. Apprentices also work towards qualifications such as RHS Level 2 Principles of Horticulture, which the Garden says is supported through funded training.

    “Integral to our success,” says Garden

    Donald Murray said apprentices now play a central role in the Garden’s operations.

    “Apprenticeships have become integral to our success,” he said. “They strengthen our ability to deliver high‑quality horticulture and support our wider mission of education, skills development and public engagement.”

    He added that apprentices bring “fresh ideas and energy”, and that many career‑changing recruits contribute valuable life experience.

    According to the Garden, apprentices also gain skills through project work and seasonal programmes, including contributing to show gardens at events such as the Royal Welsh Show.

    Garden says scheme supports Wales’ wider green skills agenda

    The organisation says apprentices also act as “ambassadors for horticulture, biodiversity and wellbeing” by engaging with visitors, volunteers and community groups.

    Looking ahead, the Garden says it hopes to expand its apprenticeship model into science, conservation, education, estates management and hospitality.

    “For other businesses considering apprentices, it’s been a no‑brainer for us,” Donald Murray said. “It’s helped us grow and filled key skills gaps.”

    Minister praises programme

    Minister for Skills Jack Sargeant said the scheme is an example of how apprenticeships can support Wales’ environmental ambitions.

    “Apprenticeships like those at the National Botanic Garden of Wales are essential to building the skilled workforce we need to tackle the challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss,” he said.

    “By combining hands‑on experience with recognised qualifications, we’re equipping the next generation with practical expertise to protect and restore our natural environment.”

  12. Panels on display for judging in the 1906 signwriting apprentices competition in England. These competitions offered medals in various categories, and here the task was to layout and letter identical content ahead of a panel of experts awarding points and critiques.

    The picture is among those I snapped in haste when I got a couple of hours at the British Library to look through hundreds of issues of the Journal of Decorative Art.

  13. @mossyrua @ChrisMayLA6 One of our partner employers recently received ~700 applications for a single Project Management #Apprenticeship opportunity we are supporting them with.

    That renders 'competition' for Oxbridge places as little more than a minor skirmish.

    An apprenticeship is a job with training, in order for them to work (as you wish) we need more employers offering more places, they can not be conjured out of goodwill (sadly).
