Improving the range and quality of your work experience and industry placement offer to meet the needs of learners and employers. In response to rising levels of unemployment caused by the Covid-19 crisis, the government has announced a range of measures as part of their investment in skills and training. These include the Kickstart scheme to create hundreds of thousands of 6 month-long high-quality work placements aimed at 16-24 year olds on Universal Credit, incentives payments to employers to hire new apprentices and additional funding for sector-based work academies. It also included a new investment of £111m in high quality traineeships, a key element of which is work placements. Prior to Covid-19 the government had already announced additional funding for retraining and helping workers to meet the needs of the changing labour market through the National Skills Fund and National Retraining Scheme. The increasing focus on employability skills and appropriate careers guidance for young people and adults highlights the importance of providing high quality work experience and industry placements as an integral part of a learner’s programme, e.g. in T level programmes. This webinar will consider how to improve the range and quality of your work experience and industry placement programme and will cover: • The role of placements in enhancing employability skills • Types of work experience and industry placements in programmes • Meeting the requirements of the labour market and employers • Lessons learnt from the T level pilots and themes emerging from the Capacity and Delivery Fund • Innovative approaches to planning and delivering placements • Effective management of relationships to ensure consistent stream of engagements over time • Hint and tips on improvements to the quality of placements • Applying the learning to the Traineeship procurement opportunity for 19-24 year olds Presenters: Beej Kaczmarczyk (Director, Learning Curve) and Jess Widdowson (Enterprise Team Leader, Barnsley College)
