Apprentice Reform – Framework to Standards

Apprentice Reform – Framework to Standards

The Knowledge, Skills & Behaviours Each Standard was developed by the Employer group with the end goal of creating Knowledge, Skills & Behaviours that an Apprentice would master from 4 occupational areas: The principles of behavioural change from public health The fundamentals of sports coaching and leading fun and engaging activities The importance of community regeneration, delivering using insight and engendering social action The disciplines of youth work and an ability to evaluate and measure impact

Standards  Funding Bands Two new qualifications that equip candidates for work in the sport and activity sector…… Apprenticeship Level Funding band Max Time to complete Community Activator Coach Level 2 £6,000 14-18 months Community Sport & Health Officer Level 3 £9,000 16-20 months Community Activator Coaches are more than activity and sports coaches – they understand people. He or she will be equipped with the specialist knowledge needed to effectively work with different groups of people and all kinds of individuals. The key role of a CSHO is to initiate behaviour change in local residents with regards engagement in sport and physical activity across local communities.

Employing an Apprentice All Employers must be prepared to commit to…… The apprentice must be aged 16 or over The apprentice should be employed for 30 hours per week (min) and have a contract of employment for the duration of the qualification. The apprentice should be earning the minimum wage rate for an apprentice. (This currently stands at £3.50* for apprentices aged 16 to 18 and those aged 19+ in their first year undertaking an apprenticeship. Apprentices aged 19+ who have completed their first year must be paid at least the National Minimum Wage for their age.) Employers are required to release the apprentice for their training - 20% of the Apprentices time will be ‘off the job’ learning. * April 2017 figures

Further discussion / Food for thought Is there greater appetite / need for L2 or L3 Apprentices? Are you a Levy or Non Levy organisation? Existing and ongoing relationships with current training providers Bespoke training needs / requirements? What’s stopping you employing an Apprentice? In many conversations with employers we are finding two typical scenarios: Employer Scenario 1 – Person already employed / known to employer – They can draw down funding to support appropriate and excellent training Employer Scenario 2 – Employer wishes to create an opportunity for Apprentice in new job role.
