Apprenticeship trailblazers

摘要

At the end of October, the government set out its implementation plan for the reform of apprenticeships, building on the recommendations of the Richard review. Developed initially as Trail-blazers, the improved apprenticeships are designed to bring greater focus on quality for the learner and ease of use for employers. Professional standards will be central to training and assessment, and those in engineering will meet the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-Spec) requirements for professional registration as Engineering-Technician (EngTech) or Incorporated Engineer (IEng).
