Parents and carers have a huge influence on their child's careers decisions. So it's important they have up to date and accurate knowledge about different careers and pathways, including #apprenticeships and technical routes. As Oscar, apprentice and one of our Youth Advisory Group members, says, there are still misconceptions associated with apprenticeships, including from parents, which can be a big barrier to their uptake for young people. Our free CPD is designed to help Careers Leaders effectively embed parent and carer engagement in #careers, giving them the confidence they need to have impactful careers conversations with their children. ⭐ Explore the CPD and start supporting parents and carers today: https://bit.ly/3Xl3OPa ⭐

Did you know that we #endpointassess the Level 5 Embalmer Apprenticeship Standard (ST0890) and are ready to support your apprentices on programme. The Embalmer standard is designed for apprentices seeking a career to preserve, sanitise and present a deceased person, ensuring confidentiality, minimising risks to public heath and assisting the bereaved by contributing to a healthy grieving process. This is a 36-month apprenticeship and the EPA consists of two assessment methods… professional discussion underpinned by a portfolio of evidence and an observation of the apprentice completing their day-to-day duties under normal working conditions in their workplace with questions. If you have apprentices on or about to start on programme, get in touch to find out more about our unique #startpoint to #endpoint support model designed to support your apprentices to succeed. #doingthingsdifferently #epao #apprenticeships Steve Smith

🌟 What an incredible two weeks it's been! 🌟   Following the resounding success of two days at Careers Fest last week and our ongoing outreach efforts, coupled with referrals, we're thrilled to announce that over 30 incredibly talented candidates have registered with us in the past week!   It's been an absolute pleasure meeting students from Carterton Community College on Wednesday and Fitzharrys School yesterday. We're dedicated to supporting the next generation as they embark on their apprenticeship journey. We've been actively representing several students looking for apprenticeships starting in September 2024 and 2025 working with age groups Year 10 - 13. By engaging early, we're helping to prepare them and open up their understanding of apprenticeships and the various options available. It's clear that as employers, we're making it incredibly difficult for school leavers to navigate the world. With no set advertising dates, different application processes, and not all opportunities advertised in one place, we're inadvertently adding barriers for this next generation. That's why we're here to help! We've received overwhelming gratitude from students and #parents and schools for the one-to-one support we're providing. If you know someone looking for an apprenticeship, please pass on our details. #Employers if you're looking to welcome an apprentice into your busy team, talk to us! Together, let's make the journey into apprenticeships smoother and more accessible for everyone. We've also been hard at work securing skilled roles and welcoming new clients onboard. It's been a whirlwind, and I couldn't be happier with the progress we've made. Setting up Intake Talent with Alexander has been one of the best career decisions I've ever made, I could not be happier. Warmest wishes to everyone for a relaxing break. 🐣 Take some time to recharge and indulge in some well-deserved rest. #apprenticeships #nextgenerationoftalent #apprentice #recruitmentagency #startup #outreach #community #oxfordshire Jackie Mustoe PAULINE WILEMAN BSC (Hons) QTS M.Ed CMgr FCMI OxLEP Skills Hub Oxfordshire Careers Hub #careersfest2024

Apprenticeships have been around since the middle ages, but in today’s #apprenticeship programs coopers, scriveners and cordwainers have been replaced by cybersecurity, advanced manufacturing and transportation. As #workforcedevelopment boards seek to expand and accelerate their RAP programs and employer participation, #econovue provides targeted employer engagement tools to elevate program performance.

The Power of Perseverance: How One Apprentice Became a Shining Star ✨ Coming across a heartwarming post by Julia's Lifetime Early Years Learning Coach, Katie Quick, made my morning. It wasn't just a "congratulations" to soon-to-be qualified practitioner Julia, but a testament to her unwavering dedication and passion for early years. The journey wasn't always smooth – learning new teaching techniques, juggling studies, and navigating child development's complexities can be tough for any apprentice. 🚗📓 Faced with each challenge, Julia met it with a smile and a "can-do" attitude. Her commitment to learning and development was an inspiration to us all. This dedication extended beyond self-improvement, embracing the well-being of the children at her nursery. It's a reminder that with hard work and support, anyone can overcome obstacles and become a fantastic early years practitioner. 🤸♀️ Here is how Lifetime helps learners to overcome these challenges: ◼ Flexible learning: We offer flexible learning schedules and resources to help apprentices manage their workload. ◼ Dedicated support: Lifetime provides dedicated Learning Coaches like Katie who offer ongoing support and guidance. ◼ High-Quality training: We deliver high-quality training materials and workshops to equip apprentices with the necessary skills and knowledge. ◼ Wellbeing resources: Lifetime understands the importance of mental well-being and provides resources to help apprentices manage stress and stay motivated. ◼ Empowering environment: We foster a supportive and encouraging environment where apprentices can ask questions and learn from each other.

Apprenticeships have worked for centuries -- in Central Europe the Apprentice Guilds were responsible for the Industrialization of the continent -- in the US the same can be said for our Apprentice Tool Makers, Mold Makers and Artisan Craftspeople... #APPRENTICESHIPSWORK #APPRENTICEMOLDMAKERS #APPRENTICEMOLDDESIGNERS #APPRENTICEREPAIRMAINTENANCETECHNICIANS

In the #LabourManifesto just launched: "Labour will establish a youth guarantee of access to training, an apprenticeship, or support to find work for all 18 to 21-year-olds, to bring down the number of young people who are not learning or earning. We will also guarantee two weeks’ worth of work experience for every young person, and improve careers advice in schools and colleges." Sounds good, but the devil will be in the detail of course, of which there is precious little. For example, are there enough quality employers able and willing to host 2.3 million 16 to 18 year olds on work placements? And how will these placements be sourced, supported and managed to ensure they are safe and rewarding? #WorkExperience #Careers #YouthEmployment #CEIAG #CareersAdvice
