A case study of a project exploring methods to improve operational support and in particular ongoing skills' profile monitoring and target setting for those in apprenticeships
The project aimed to refine the outcomes and measures used to track progress for those on apprenticeships, develop capabilities to embed the application formally and systematically across the provider's organisation, develop a robust communications plan to support this, and identify outstanding features of teaching, learning and assessment within the project
Employers were able to interpret and apply the tool with minimal training, and the tool gave employers the opportunity to assess apprentices in the language of teaching, learning and assessment, and involved apprentices in active dialogue and negotiation. Of the initial pilot group, 3 of 6 learners achieved the highest or second highest scores in at least one soft skill
