CfL Apprenticeship Information and Advice Workshops
The unique workshops that CfL have developed and delivered to schools in the Humber sub-region, over the past six years, have been locally acknowledged as good practice and have made a significant contribution to the local IAG programmes in schools.
The impartial workshop is delivered interactively to small groups of young people during a one-hour session in school as part of their careers education and guidance programme. The workshops are now being funded by three of the four local authorities in the Humber as part of their approach to support achievement of the local Apprenticeship target. Predominately delivered to Year 10 and 11 young people, the workshops cover, what an Apprenticeship is, the range of Apprenticeships on offer, which providers deliver Apprenticeships in the area and how to apply for an Apprenticeship. Both in Hull and North East Lincolnshire, this process starts much earlier with workshops being delivered from Year 9 to support young people's options choices for progression to an Apprenticeship, including the opportunities for Young Apprenticeships.
The National Apprenticeship Service has been so impressed with the workshops that they have requested CfL to support the development of the service across Yorkshire and the Humber. CfL is now sharing its expertise in this capacity with other WBL Network organisations in the region. As a result, it is hoped that even more young people are able to receive high quality, impartial information and advice about Apprenticeships in schools across the region.
