It's my 1 year anniversary at work. I have survived my first year as an educator! Everyone who told me the first year would be tough wasn't wrong! In fact, they downplayed just how tough it is. But I'm still here, and still enjoying it when it's not immensely stressful. #Teaching #FurtherEducation #Apprenticeships #Apprentices

The long awaited follow-up to my insightful and incredibly well written blog about trying to become a teacher is up!

#Education #ShowerThought I've been going through the new Post-16 education and skills whitepaper and for all the potentially intelligent analysis I could offer I'm just left thinking, 'with all the recent coverage introducing 'V Levels' so that folk are encouraged to think about 'V-A-T Levels', seems like a bit of a marketing mis-step?!'

I'm sitting in on the #BCS #NAW25 Local Digital Skills session, shaping up to be a really interesting session, the skills agenda is on the move again and #Apprenticeships and #apprentices need to be at heart of it:

FE & Skills - Ofsted Annual Report 2023

Concern grows over the high number of early withdrawals on #apprenticeships and #TLevels. Some of this will be the final 'lagging' numbers post-lockdown, but the sector needs some support. Better funding, a more flexible approach to inspections for work-based programmes, quality publicly-funded #CEIAG available in all regions and revising the functional skills requirements post-16 would be good starting points.

Why is the government wrecking its own reforms to technical education?

Rationing access to apprenticeships is increasing the UK’s skills deficit

Places for vocational training should be funded in the same way as degrees and match demand from young learners

Portable flexi-jobs apprenticeship pilot flops.

Providers hit less than 1% of their target with just 2 months to go.

Flexi-Job, 'Portable' apprenticeships, T=Levels - So much investment, time and effort for providers and colleges to set these schemes up, market them to employers and learners, and it all seems to be for very little return.

If the government insists on putting these programmes together, their approach needs to change. Proper, localised, data-driven pilots with clear success criteria. A launch strategy with DfE marketing baked in to raise awareness.

And funding. Fund them properly.

Rant ends....

This week, I have been honoured to attend both the North East and the Yorkshire and Humber Regional Apprenticeship Awards #AppAwards23

Passionate, supportive employers, and inspiring apprentices. What's not to love?

This will be a big change for many #providers.

The 'Multi-Channel Marketer L3' #apprenticeship standard will launch soon.

Be aware! There is a notice on the site confirming that there will only be a 60-day notice period between the confirmation of the funding band and registrations ending for the incumbent standards it replaces.

Once I know more I will share the details.
