In general, smaller organisations will partner up with a training provider which will help with the whole apprenticeship set-up and delivery process.
Larger organisations might consider developing their own programme.
Alternatively, whatever the size of your organisation, you might want to get involved at the forefront of IT Apprenticeship development by contributing and benefitting from one of our two key programmes.
Find out more below about the next steps:
Looking for a training provider?
Employers can choose from a wide range of options when planning to work with training providers to deliver apprenticeship learning and qualifications.
Many Further Education colleges provide Apprenticeship programmes
There are private training providers offering Apprenticeships; some are generalists, and some are IT specialists
Looking to develop your own programme?
We can assist you in building a specific apprenticeship pathway to suit your training needs. Please contact us for independent apprenticeship consultancy advice via apprenticeships@e-skills.com.
Interested in developing new apprenticeships?
Join our current apprenticeship project groups working on higher levels and sector managed programmes in a range of technical disciplines to suit employer needs.
Higher level apprenticeship programme
We are continuing to develop an already established higher level apprenticeship programme to act as an alternative to traditional graduate recruitment. This apprenticeship scheme will allow employers to attract talent at an early age, and make it possible for a larger number of employers to recruit at this level. We need your help to define the requirements and technical content in order to establish a national programme of excellence.
Sector-managed appenticeship programme
Our second project is funded by the Government’s Growth and Innovation Fund, and involves working in partnership with a range of employers to create a sector-managed apprenticeship – in other words, an apprenticeship that will be managed by a major technology company with years of experience in apprenticeships, thus giving employers the benefit of a large organisation’s expertise on delivery. We would like to gather a group of employers to develop the content and approach, and to ensure the apprenticeship is relevant, appealing and accessible to employers in the sector.
If you would like to get involved in, or recruit for either of these projects, please find out more on the e-skills UK-led National Skills Academy for IT website.
