Apprenticeship Support Programme
The LGA deliver an apprenticeship support programme, which aims to support councils so they can maximise the Return on Investment (ROI) of their apprenticeship levy.
The LGA’s apprenticeships support programme provides a range of practical support and advice for local authorities and their maintained schools on developing and enhancing their apprenticeship programme. Due to the current COVID-19 disruption, we have moved most of our delivery online to ensure we can continue to support councils. Our support offer includes:
- webinars on key aspects of managing an apprenticeship programme
- advice and guidance notes
- 'Apprenticeship MOT’ reviews of council programmes
- sharing best practice from around the sector
- toolkits
- a focus on supporting councils with end point assessment
- mapping apprenticeship standards to job roles
- support for developing new standards that are important to the sector
- our regular newsletter
- our annual apprenticeships survey of the sector.
