Apprenticeships enable employers to develop the workforce of the future and support succession planning whilst delivering tangible benefits such as reduced staff turnover. Apprenticeships provide an opportunity to raise standards and support the professionalisation of a sector. All new and reviewed apprenticeships must comply with relevant national policy. Wherever possible, frameworks should be mapped across all four UK nations to identify where synergies and core components exist, to support coherence across the UK and avoid unnecessary duplication of activity. The framework is for the period 17 April 2023 to 16 April 2025, with 2 x 1 year extensions available at SDS discretion. Additional information: Full details of Lot 4 were provided in the ITT documents. |
