It is too late to book a place for this particular session, sorry about that.
This is a learning event for National Third Sector Employability Forum (TSEF) members and Third Sector Organisations.
As a principal theme for the TSEF work Plan is apprenticeships and how they can improve the awareness and capacity around Modern Apprenticeships (Mas) across Third Sector organisations.
Key themes to explore will be:
The Third Sector is seen as a strategic sector in MA expansion plan. What is required to increase the numbers of MA’s hosted by third sector employers? What needs to be done to create MA career paths within the sector?
The Third Sector does not feature strongly in the supply chain for delivering MA’s – how can that capacity be developed, particularly in the light of the MA expansion plan?
The Apprenticeship Levy will affect a number of TSEF members – how can they ensure that the Levy remains within the Sector? Could the Levy be used to build the capacity of the sector to deliver MA’s? Also, to what extent will the sector’s relationship with employers be affected by the Levy?
The sector has a stronger influence on Foundation Apprenticeships than MA’s – how can the sector contribute to improving the transition into MA for disadvantaged young people?
Senior representatives from Skills Development Scotland (SDS) will deliver a programme that will help members focus on these issues as well as bringing learning on Equalities action Plan, Foundation Apprenticeships, the Scottish approach to the Levy, Scottish Apprenticeship frameworks and the MA Expansion Plan.
Facilitated discussions will raise awareness, increase understanding and help members plan and prepare for a more active involvement in Apprenticeships, both as employers and as employability providers.
