How do we support new and existing customers with the biggest reform ever to apprenticeships?

Key questions

[email protected] 01737 788316

1. Who is a Levy customer in our community2. What can the college offer?3. What are the key messages that need to be shared

with our employers?

1. Funding bands

Every apprenticeship will be placed in a funding band

The upper limit of each funding band will cap the maximum:

Employers can negotiate the best price for the training they require

• Employers are free to spend more than the funding limit

Number Band limit

1 £1,500

2 £2,000

3 £2,500

4 £3,000

5 £3,500

6 £4,000

7 £5,000

8 £6,000

9 £9,000

10 £12,000

11 £15,000

12 £18,000

13 £21,000

14 £24,000

15 £27,000

2. Funding rules

Prior qualifications- now and in the future

Train any individual to undertake an apprenticeship at a higher level than a qualification they already hold

An individual can be funded to undertake an apprenticeship at the same or lower level to acquire substantive new skills

3. Additional support for Apprentices

Funding for 16-18 year oldsGovernment proposes to pay £1,000 to employers,

and a further £1,000 to training providers if they train a 16-18 year old apprentice.

Disadvantaged young people

Government proposes to pay £1,000 to employers, and a further £1,000 to training providers if they train

19-24 year olds leaving care or who have a Local Authority Education and Healthcare plan.

Funding for additional learning support

Where an apprentice requires additional learning support as a result of conditions such as dyslexia,

learning difficulties or disabilities up to £150 a month

Funding for English and Maths training

The government is committed to helping apprentices gain the minimum standard of Level 2 in English and

maths.

4. What can funds be used for?

Digital funds and government funding can be used for:

Digital funds and government funding can not be used for

• apprenticeship training and assessment

• against an approved framework or standard

• with an approved training provider and assessment organisation

• up to the funding band maximum for that apprenticeship

• apprentice wages

• travel and subsistence costs

• managerial costs

• traineeships

• work placement programmes

• the costs of setting up an apprenticeship programme

• recruitment costs

5. Co-Investment

Government support towards the cost of their Apprenticeships training:

A levy-paying employer with insufficient funds in their digital account to pay for the cost of training and assessment they want to purchase

• The government pays 90% of the costs of training and assessment

• The employer will be responsible for paying 10% of the costs

Government 90%

Employer 10%

How do we communicate?

[email protected] 01737 788316

1. We set up Breakfast Levy events with Reigate & Banstead County Council

2. We addressed employer questions and concerns3. We set up further Breakfast events4. We met HR teams and line managers5. We set us sector specific employer forums6. We are working with employers in supporting a

strategy that combines sector needs and training overall

Staff – academic/professional services

Strategy 2020 – holistic approach

• Established model – “earn & learn”– Vocational / skill based / practitioner– Limited engagement – Engineering / Construction sectors– Variable quality / variable learner experience

• National / Government agenda– Skills shortages – many sectors / many levels– Productivity challenge – falling behind competitor nations– Demographic challenges – ageing and diversity– Widening access / engagement

• Major national policy changes– Employer levy – 0.5% for employers with >£3,000,000 wage bill– 90% co-funding for SME non-levy payers– Extended range of academic levels – Pre-degree, Foundation Degree,

Bachelors Degree + Masters– 3,000,000 starts by end of current administration

Apprenticeships – national agenda

Why would UWE engage ?• Builds on existing / past activities –

• FDSc apprenticeships – FET, HAS – with FE college partners

• Higher Apprenticeship Project – 2012 – with City of Bristol College

• Long track record of employer centred / based education and CPD

• Environment Agency – FDSc / MSc River & Coastal Engineering

• NHS – Nursing / Midwife / Paramedic programmes

• ILM Programmes

HEFCE DADF – June 2016• Launched June 2016 - £8,000,000 to support development / launch

Reflections & Observations - I• “Dynamic nature of the landscape” ! – national picture

• SFA / BIS ( now BEIS ) / DFE / IFA – volume and number of changes – policy and small details / systems

• ESFA / HEFCE culture differences / expectations

• “Employer led “ ???

• Learning from college partners – ESFA etc – supporting their development in return

• UWE – new business / existing business ?

• UWE - Assigned fee bands and TEF based degree fees ?

Reflections & Observations - II• RoATP – uncertainty created through new register process

• Employer / applicant uncertainty / lack of clarity

• UWE learning new set of ESFA/IFA protocols/rules/agreements

• Timescales for whole project – multiple unknowns – employers, applicants, EPA, …….

• What is a DA – how is it different / similar to existing provision ?

• Level 6/7 DA – different skill set / expectations – impact of EPA rather than portfolio of competencies as with frameworks

• Impact / benefit to core UGrad programmes

Why would / should SMEs engage ?• Help shape the landscape

o Standards development

o Forms of delivery / study

o Intelligent/Innovative use of the 20% “OTJ”

• Upskill existing staff – new markets / new challenges do you face

• Link with a local FE/HE network

o Apprenticeships / Degree Apprenticeships are just a part of the support available.

• Link / Work through trade/sector groups – larger/louder voice !

• Access to different talent pool

• VFM – 10% contribution to fees

There are varying levels of maturity across sectors and organisations in how they are responding to the apprenticeship levy. Those

organisations that see the levy as an opportunity to build the workforce of the future are focusing on developing their strategic plans, ensuring

they have the correct investment to create the operational infrastructure and processes to implement their programme..

Continual struggle for companies to understand the how to manage and performance manage this

requirement.

Short sighted approach to identifying how apprenticeships can tackle the skills deficits of the future

as well as today

All of the above require extra resourcing that may be a new requirement. Organisations are struggling

to write the business case and case for investment.

A consistent theme we are seeing is to ‘simply spend the levy’.

Each provider has a different approach to learning and will use different delivery methods and

platforms that may have a considerably different look and feel to in-house training

Creating meaningful career pathways for mid management and above using apprenticeships has

proved difficult.

There are a number of things to consider when setting up an op model for apprenticeships from

recruitment to marketing, supplier management and increased administrative requirements.

What challenges are we consistently seeing?
