This resource comprises the outputs from one of a series of projects to test a range of approaches to improving and extending training and related business services for employers. The college has a large Skills Funding Agency Apprenticeship College contract and wanted to explore how to better support apprentices in their workplace to maintain their engagement and motivation. Involving employers in this process has been seen to have a positive impact, leading to lower drop-out rates, improved attendance and timely completion. The project piloted a coaching, mentoring and motivational programme for workplace mentors within a large company.
