ARCHIVE: Modern Apprenticeships Review consultation

Modern Apprenticeships offer people over the age of 16 a chance to combine paid employment with training and gaining qualifications. Modern Apprenticeship frameworks are developed by the sector where they will be used and this means that they offer high quality training to standards recognised by the sector.

The frameworks for these MAs are being updated and will incorporate the most recent SVQs and some changes to the Workplace Core Skills. This work is being undertaken to ensure that the frameworks meet the needs of the sector and of employers. The consultation was on a review of the existing HSC and CCLD Modern Apprenticeships and on the possibility of level 2 Modern Apprenticeships. The views of the sector will inform SSSC’s submission to the Alliance of Sector Skills Council (ASSC) of the revised frameworks.

Further information is available on the SSSC website. The consultation closed on Wednesday 28 January 2009.
