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 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.
