Energy & Utility Skills Apprenticeships Evaluation - we need your views!

18 January 2012

EU Skills is evaluating the effectiveness of our Apprenticeship frameworks, measuring their success in helping employers meet their workforce and skills needs.

Feeding into the development of EU Skills' Apprenticeship Strategy, the evaluation will identify and explore opportunities to improve processes, increase take-up and develop new frameworks or pathways. It will also gather evidence to help EU Skills influence external Apprenticeship policy.

The results will feed into the development of EU Skills' Talent Bank initiative. Talent Bank aims to fulfil the latent skills demands of our industries through new training solutions and the delivery of an increased supply of skilled people into jobs.

Apprenticeships play a fundamental role in this endeavour, and the evaluation will play a key part in ensuring that the Apprenticeship frameworks are fit for purpose.
