This guide is one of three guides commissioned by the Education and Training Foundation (ETF) and produced by touchconsulting Ltd as part of the #StudyGood programme (2019-2020). It is targeted at employers and outlines what study programmes are, why they are good for business, how employers can become involved and the support they will receive along the way.
This guide has been designed to help you analyse the way you currently organise your Apprenticeships to identify where further improvements can be made in line with the reforms. The guide will support you in creating and managing ‘expansive’
Apprenticeships. An expansive Apprenticeship makes demands on apprentices, their employers and on training providers by maximising the added value that Apprenticeship can bring to workforce performance.
The aim of the project was to raise awareness of sustainable development to learners attending construction and motor vehicle courses and for employees of small businesses and to raise awareness of the local employment opportunities available in the new emerging Low Carbon Goods and Services sector. The College wanted to develop courses and programmes in the area of sustainability and this project presented them with the catalyst to begin to pilot a number of different qualifications, which would be delivered as part of main learning courses for particular groups of learners.

This guide pulls together all the various complex strands of policy and process which go to make up the employability and skills offer to unemployed people. It also provides hints and tips based on real experience to help learning and skills providers make sense of those strands and consider how they might best respond to the challenges posed by the ongoing changes to the Adult Skills Budget, DWP and Education Funding Agency (EFA) programmes.
A step by step guide for providers
This guide is aimed at providers who are considering offering GCSEs in English and
maths. It will also be useful for all providers who would like to adopt a more

Although the guide mainly focuses on GCSEs, we are aware that functional skills or other English and maths qualifications may be more appropriate for many apprentices.
