Apprenticeship Brokerage
Humber Apprenticeship Brokerage
Service
Martin Fitzgerald
Presented By: Martin Fitzgerald
Humber Apprenticeship
Brokerage Service
The Vision.
To increase the number of individuals entering
traineeships and apprenticeships at all levels and
increase employer participation in traineeships and
apprenticeships.
We want to ensure that individuals can fulfil their potential within the labour market
using apprenticeships, traineeships and education as a pathway to do this.
We wish to raise the profile of apprenticeships amongst business and reduce
bureaucracy for businesses who wish to utilise apprenticeships.
Background.
• Skills gaps within various industries, more is needed to close the
productivity gap
• Humber is behind the national average for qualifications at level four
and above
• Humber also has a higher than national percentage of potential learners
with no qualifications.
• Persistent low levels of skills threatens to hold back business growth
• There needs to be a stronger recognition between knowledge
application and productivity
HABS – The Opportunity.
• Inspire individuals to make the correct career choice
• Provide businesses with the tools to grow their workforce, and address skill gaps
• Support the growth and development of higher and degree apprenticeships within
the region
• Be at the forefront of the apprenticeship changes, promoting positivity and not
hysteria
• Be a ‘real’ voice on apprenticeships.
• Provide a central ‘apprenticeship hub’, promoting communication between
training providers.
HABS – The Service.
• HABS will support businesses, training providers and potential apprentices in the
Humber region by providing an impartial brokerage service.
• Advice and support to provide individuals and businesses with information that
allows them to make an informed choice of their apprenticeship/apprenticeship
provider
• We will also help support those that wish to pursue higher education or
traineeships.
• Funding is available to engage with learners, and provide support to businesses
• Funding is also available for progressing and sustaining learners in
apprenticeships and traineeships.
HABS – Expectations.
• To engage and inspire 1111 individuals
• To connect with 2763 businesses, raising the profile of apprenticeships
• To provide 1079 progressions opportunities to individuals in the Humber
• Support those individuals and ensure that 873 have sustained their
progression after 3 months and that 410 are still in their apprenticeship
after 6 months
HABS – The Image.
We want to be the voice for ‘real’ apprenticeships and ‘real’ apprentices.

Humber Gold Standard
Engaging with the Humber Gold
Standard
Jill Ellis
by Jill Ellis
HUMBER GOLD STANDARD
• How meeting the Humber Gold Standard enables an institution
to meet the Gatsby Benchmarks / prepare for Ofsted
• Outline of the process
• What an institution needs to develop/think about when
preparing for an assessment.
• Positive aspects of achieving the award.
Seen by Ofsted as a sign that your CEIAG is top quality.
Recommended by Statutory Guidance.
Unlike Matrix it validates your careers education programme as well
as advice and guidance.
A developmental tool, not something to “go for” once you have got
your provision where you want it.
• Quality awards have been available in England since 1992.
• March 2015 Statutory Guidance to schools on their careers
guidance statutory duty recommends that all schools should work
towards achieving a Quality Award. (Updated April 2017)
• In March 2017 a single National Careers Quality Award was
created, The Quality in Careers Standard. There are 12 providers,
all of which go through a rigorous process to be licensed to award
the Quality in Careers Standard. Humber Gold is due to go to
panel October/November.
• Over 1100 schools, colleges and learning providers have achieved
accreditation or are working towards achieving a Quality Award.
• There is evidence that schools/colleges, training providers that have
gained awards have good quality CEIAG, improved examination
results and reduced levels of absences.
(Hooley T, Matheson J, and Watts A.G. (2014), Advancing Ambition:
The Role of Career Guidance in supporting social mobility, Derby
International Centre for Guidance Studies.)
The Quality in Careers Standard is mapped against the Gatsby
benchmarks so an institution holding the standard automatically
meets the benchmarks.
Gatsby Stable programme
Linking curriculum to
careers
Personal Guidance
Learning from career & LMI
Addressing needs of each
pupil Encounters
with employers & employees
Encounters with FE & HE
Experience of workplaces
This is
your
emphasis
Ofsted
want to
see this
SLT hear
this
message
How working towards and achieving Humber Gold Standard can
help with Ofsted / What do Ofsted want?
To see the Senior Leadership Team Member who has line management
responsibility for CEIAG/Link Governor.
To see a programme of activities with clear outcomes which need to be
differentiated and meet the needs of all pupils.
To speak to pupils who are clear about what CEIAG they have access
to and its effect.
To see that continuous evaluation and monitoring is informing your
programme and it is responsive to students’ needs.
A whole school focus to which everyone contributes and buys into.
(all areas which are crucial to the Standard)
What pupils are learning about careers and the Labour market.( The
standard looks at how work related learning and employability skills
are recorded and assessed and evaluated).
Whether pupils have access to personal guidance. (The Standard
requires the Careers Adviser to be Level 6 qualified and registered with
the CDI, ensures a high standard of practice)
A stable programme from Year 7 to 13, not a series of ad hoc events.
Careers is embedded within the curriculum, evidence of it happening in
subject areas.
The framework should include ALL routes for ALL pupils.
The only way to fit this all in is to make it a whole school focus with all
curriculum areas contributing.
The Humber Gold Standard can help schools to develop and shape
their CEIAG programme.
Focus on pulling together all the areas where careers education and
work related learning is being delivered. The careers programme is not
just careers lessons
PSHCE Assemblies
Drop Down days Visitors into the classroom
Tutorial time Visits
Cross curricular Internet/software
Mentoring Real Game
Work experience Self referral for guidance
Optional talks and workshops STEM activities
Enterprise activities Employability skills
Putting together a Framework
Use the CDI Careers and Work related Learning Framework and audit
tools- progressive from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 5 with learning
outcomes.
This provides you with the basis of your framework for Ofsted and the
standard.
www.cdi.net (type audit into the search box once you have accessed
the website to get supporting resources and audit tools.
What is the process?
• Register your institution’s interest
• Complete the self assessment form using the Humber Gold
Standard document as a guide (page 21 onwards)
• Consultancy support is available from C&K Careers. We will work
with you to ensure you are ready for an assessment.
• Upload supporting evidence. This should be done from the
beginning of the process as your consultant will be able to identify
gaps if any and advise on how to address these.
• The assessment is a full day and involves interviews with key
people. (Head/Principal, Careers Lead, Careers Adviser, Parents,
Link Governor, students, an observation of a careers
lesson/activity)

teachers and support transition and progression https://www.teachfirst.org.uk/sites/default/files/TeachFirst-Access-Toolkit-2016.pdf
Parents/carers involved and informed in CEIAG

child is well prepared for the future”.
