This National Apprenticeship Week (6 to 12 February), the Education and Training Foundation (ETF), alongside delivery partners AoC, AELP, SDN and UVAC, would like to extend our warmest thanks to all those who have been helping to shape the Apprenticeship Workforce Development (AWD) programme.
Funded by the Department for Education, AWD initially launched in 2021 to support staff at all levels and roles delivering apprenticeships across Further and Higher Education settings. The second phase of AWD is now underway, with an analysis of apprenticeship workforce training needs being conducted to inform the development of new CPD.
One key part of the sector training needs analysis was the AWD survey, conducted in November and December 2022. Anyone involved in apprenticeship delivery was invited to complete the survey, which assessed training needs for the delivery of apprenticeships to all ages and at all levels – from intermediate to higher and degree level apprenticeships. We’re pleased to announce that the survey received more than 1,400 responses in just over two weeks.
