This guide provides information and guidance on how you can successfully support an apprentice under the newly developed Apprenticeship Training Agency (ATA) model of delivery. All examples included in this guide have been developed in partnership with the newly appointed ATAs and Group Training Associations (GTAs) supported through the National Apprenticeship Service (NAS). The guide is intended for organisations, including providers and other sector bodies, that are investigating this delivery model as this is a new way of working that may be unfamiliar to many of these organisations.

On the back of The Isle of Wight being identified by the Office of National Statistics as an employment blackspot, this pilot used the It's My Community toolkit to bring learners and the business community together to investigate ways to stimulate employment and job creation. The toolkit helped learners frame the questions asked during the project, and broadened the learners thinking about community and its relationship with local business.

A project introducing mobile technology resources to support Media  Makeup programmes  aimed to increase responsibility and ownership of students' personal progress as well as review the delivery method of teaching and the recording of learning throught the use of student owned mobile services.

This project looked to build on A4e’s initial scoping of real-time 3D internet as a teaching & learning tool by consulting trainers and learners in its national Vox Centres. Ideas gathered from staff were translated into a methodology that developers at Teesside University’s d lab could interpret and build a test area for the improved induction and assessment of Vox Centre learners.
