Apprenticeship Brokerage

Humber Apprenticeship Brokerage

Service

Martin Fitzgerald

Presented By: Martin Fitzgerald

Humber Apprenticeship

Brokerage Service

The Vision.

To increase the number of individuals entering

traineeships and apprenticeships at all levels and

increase employer participation in traineeships and

apprenticeships.

We want to ensure that individuals can fulfil their potential within the labour market

using apprenticeships, traineeships and education as a pathway to do this.

We wish to raise the profile of apprenticeships amongst business and reduce

bureaucracy for businesses who wish to utilise apprenticeships.

Background.

• Skills gaps within various industries, more is needed to close the

productivity gap

• Humber is behind the national average for qualifications at level four

and above

• Humber also has a higher than national percentage of potential learners

with no qualifications.

• Persistent low levels of skills threatens to hold back business growth

• There needs to be a stronger recognition between knowledge

application and productivity

HABS – The Opportunity.

• Inspire individuals to make the correct career choice

• Provide businesses with the tools to grow their workforce, and address skill gaps

• Support the growth and development of higher and degree apprenticeships within

the region

• Be at the forefront of the apprenticeship changes, promoting positivity and not

hysteria

• Be a ‘real’ voice on apprenticeships.

• Provide a central ‘apprenticeship hub’, promoting communication between

training providers.

HABS – The Service.

• HABS will support businesses, training providers and potential apprentices in the

Humber region by providing an impartial brokerage service.

• Advice and support to provide individuals and businesses with information that

allows them to make an informed choice of their apprenticeship/apprenticeship

provider

• We will also help support those that wish to pursue higher education or

traineeships.

• Funding is available to engage with learners, and provide support to businesses

• Funding is also available for progressing and sustaining learners in

apprenticeships and traineeships.

HABS – Expectations.

• To engage and inspire 1111 individuals

• To connect with 2763 businesses, raising the profile of apprenticeships

• To provide 1079 progressions opportunities to individuals in the Humber

• Support those individuals and ensure that 873 have sustained their

progression after 3 months and that 410 are still in their apprenticeship

after 6 months

HABS – The Image.

We want to be the voice for ‘real’ apprenticeships and ‘real’ apprentices.

Humber Gold Standard

Engaging with the Humber Gold

Standard

Jill Ellis

by Jill Ellis

HUMBER GOLD STANDARD

• How meeting the Humber Gold Standard enables an institution

to meet the Gatsby Benchmarks / prepare for Ofsted

• Outline of the process

• What an institution needs to develop/think about when

preparing for an assessment.

• Positive aspects of achieving the award.

Seen by Ofsted as a sign that your CEIAG is top quality.

Recommended by Statutory Guidance.

Unlike Matrix it validates your careers education programme as well

as advice and guidance.

A developmental tool, not something to “go for” once you have got

your provision where you want it.

• Quality awards have been available in England since 1992.

• March 2015 Statutory Guidance to schools on their careers

guidance statutory duty recommends that all schools should work

towards achieving a Quality Award. (Updated April 2017)

• In March 2017 a single National Careers Quality Award was

created, The Quality in Careers Standard. There are 12 providers,

all of which go through a rigorous process to be licensed to award

the Quality in Careers Standard. Humber Gold is due to go to

panel October/November.

• Over 1100 schools, colleges and learning providers have achieved

accreditation or are working towards achieving a Quality Award.

• There is evidence that schools/colleges, training providers that have

gained awards have good quality CEIAG, improved examination

results and reduced levels of absences.

(Hooley T, Matheson J, and Watts A.G. (2014), Advancing Ambition:

The Role of Career Guidance in supporting social mobility, Derby

International Centre for Guidance Studies.)

The Quality in Careers Standard is mapped against the Gatsby

benchmarks so an institution holding the standard automatically

meets the benchmarks.

Gatsby Stable programme

Linking curriculum to

careers

Personal Guidance

Learning from career & LMI

Addressing needs of each

pupil Encounters

with employers & employees

Encounters with FE & HE

Experience of workplaces

This is

your

emphasis

Ofsted

want to

see this

SLT hear

this

message

How working towards and achieving Humber Gold Standard can

help with Ofsted / What do Ofsted want?

To see the Senior Leadership Team Member who has line management

responsibility for CEIAG/Link Governor.

To see a programme of activities with clear outcomes which need to be

differentiated and meet the needs of all pupils.

To speak to pupils who are clear about what CEIAG they have access

to and its effect.

To see that continuous evaluation and monitoring is informing your

programme and it is responsive to students’ needs.

A whole school focus to which everyone contributes and buys into.

(all areas which are crucial to the Standard)

What pupils are learning about careers and the Labour market.( The

standard looks at how work related learning and employability skills

are recorded and assessed and evaluated).

Whether pupils have access to personal guidance. (The Standard

requires the Careers Adviser to be Level 6 qualified and registered with

the CDI, ensures a high standard of practice)

A stable programme from Year 7 to 13, not a series of ad hoc events.

Careers is embedded within the curriculum, evidence of it happening in

subject areas.

The framework should include ALL routes for ALL pupils.

The only way to fit this all in is to make it a whole school focus with all

curriculum areas contributing.

The Humber Gold Standard can help schools to develop and shape

their CEIAG programme.

Focus on pulling together all the areas where careers education and

work related learning is being delivered. The careers programme is not

just careers lessons

PSHCE Assemblies

Drop Down days Visitors into the classroom

Tutorial time Visits

Cross curricular Internet/software

Mentoring Real Game

Work experience Self referral for guidance

Optional talks and workshops STEM activities

Enterprise activities Employability skills

Putting together a Framework

Use the CDI Careers and Work related Learning Framework and audit

tools- progressive from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 5 with learning

outcomes.

This provides you with the basis of your framework for Ofsted and the

standard.

www.cdi.net (type audit into the search box once you have accessed

the website to get supporting resources and audit tools.

What is the process?

• Register your institution’s interest

• Complete the self assessment form using the Humber Gold

Standard document as a guide (page 21 onwards)

• Consultancy support is available from C&K Careers. We will work

with you to ensure you are ready for an assessment.

• Upload supporting evidence. This should be done from the

beginning of the process as your consultant will be able to identify

gaps if any and advise on how to address these.

• The assessment is a full day and involves interviews with key

people. (Head/Principal, Careers Lead, Careers Adviser, Parents,

Link Governor, students, an observation of a careers

lesson/activity)

What you need to think about/ develop

Leadership and Management

Is there a whole school approach with senior leadership support?

• CEIAG plan reviewed annually and linked to organisational

improvement planning

• Governing body informed on CEIAG and link Governor supporting it.

Raise awareness of careers at a strategic level.

• Up to date CEIAG policy ratified by governors, visible on the

website. Higher profile

• Sufficient Budget

• Defined CEIAG roles and responsibilities

• Learner entitlement

Improved training and support for staff delivering careers

education

Is CEIAG included in the institution’s training policy?

What CPD have staff done?

Powerpoint on statutory guidance on staff section of the internet

Careers included in induction of staff

Resources for teaching careers updated and improved and made

available centrally

Teach First Resource - Access toolkit written to raise awareness of

teachers and support transition and progression https://www.teachfirst.org.uk/sites/default/files/TeachFirst-Access-Toolkit-2016.pdf

Parents/carers involved and informed in CEIAG

• Parents events and up to date information available on progression

opportunities

• Is there careers information in the student planner?

• Parental questionnaires/surveys? “The school has ensured that my

child is well prepared for the future”.

• Evidence of information made available to parents/carers via email,

letters, text, website etc.

• Links to pertinent websites and named staff to support CEIAG

Quality Assurance and impact

• Analyse data/evidence to measure the effectiveness and impact of

CEIAG.

• NEETs and destination figures.

• Surveys and their results - what happened as a result.

• Lesson observations.

• Careers adviser observation reports.

• Impact of guidance questionnaires.

• You said, we did.

Ofsted will want to see Portfolio of Evidence as will your assessor

(electronic)

Careers Education,enterprise and work related learning Framework.

Evidence of careers related activities.

Evidence of employer and community engagement.

Evidence of impact assessment and what has been done as a result of

evaluation.

How well you work with SENCO and Pastoral leads to address

disadvantaged pupils’ needs, interventions with under performing

pupils.

Strategic lead, Link Governor, reports to governors.

Use the Standards document to provide a guide as to what to include.

Positive aspects of achieving the Standard

• Students are better informed, have higher career management skills

and are open to more options.

• Improved motivation and aspiration.

• Provides a framework for reviewing and improving practice

• Helps highlight the extensive range of careers activity that takes

place and embeds careers delivery

• Highlights the importance of involving parents/carers. Parents have

a better understanding of post 16 and 18 options and how to support

their child’s decision making.

• Provides a cross curricular approach and raises awareness of

staff/develops staff expertise. CPD for new and newly qualified staff

about CEIAG and the role of the tutor.

Positive aspects of achieving the Standard

• Improved Governor awareness and support

• Improved Quality Assurance

• Improved links to employers/employability skills

• Destinations and achievement

• OfSTED

• Profile of careers in school/ college is raised – for pupils, parents,

teachers, employers, Governors.
