What is an Apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships are flexible training programmes tailored to meet the needs of a business. They combine practical and theoretical skills, and are designed to help employees reach a high level of competency and performance.
Most of the training is 'on the job' - working with a mentor to learn job-specific skills at your premises. Additional skills and knowledge are provided by a local college or a specialist training provider. The apprentice earns while they learn, and in a way best suited to many - hands on experience.
An apprenticeship is not a qualification in itself, but a 'framework' containing a number of separately certified qualifications and courses, which cover the skills, competence and underpinning knowledge required for a job.
Apprenticeship frameworks reviews
One of Lantra’s key tasks is to develop, maintain and review a number of UK Apprenticeship Frameworks. To meet the changing needs of industry, apprenticeships need to be kept up–to-date to ensure they are fit for purpose and meet the requirements of the apprentice, the employer and industry and that they are deliverable by providers.
Apprenticeships are an excellent way for individuals to start and develop their career in the environmental and land-based sector and it is important that we are able to provide evidence that apprenticeships are needed and will be supported by employers. Therefore, your input into this process is vital and we welcome your support.
The reviews have been split into three different phases. Please click on the industry below for an update:
