London Borough of Camden’s Post

Going to CCCAOE? Tina Watts and I were a late add to present on Thursday at 2:30 - 3:20 Room A-8 in the Convention Center. Non-traditional Apprenticeship in Early Childhood Education: Lessons Learned Description This presentation will explore the journey of the Early Childhood Apprenticeship Program (ECAP) at Skyline College. Multi-year planning and implementation of an apprenticeship program in an area of critical workforce need. The program focuses on reduced time to completion/transfer, equitable access, providing living wage employment and coursework leading to both an Associate’s Degree and Master Teacher Child Development Permit in early childhood education. We will discuss the planning process, funding (including CAI grant) and the complexities of working through multiple bureaucracies to provide support for a marginalized student population to be successful in the workforce.

Webinar next week! Come hear how DeKalb County School District became a registered teacher apprenticeship program in Georgia.

This is a good explainer

Don't pick Hogwarts unless you're into magic! 🧙♂️ One of the most important decisions you will make at high school is the path you want to take after graduating. It could be an apprenticeship, a gap year to give yourself more time, or university and higher education. It is also important to make the right choice for YOU. Not your parents. Not your teachers. YOU. Here is some guidance to help you decide on the best university for you.

When you think of an apprenticeship, what's the first thing that springs to mind? When I was the Apprenticeships and Skills Minister, I always asked people this question, and almost unanimously, their response was a trade or role in the manufacturing or construction sector. As vital as these sectors are, I want to make sure that whatever you want to do, there is an apprenticeship for you. That is why we’ve created apprenticeships for most occupations in the country including, for example, lawyers, accountants and doctors so the traditional university route is not the only way you can achieve your goals. And it's why I'm really proud of the progress we have made since 2010 👇 📈 Delivering nearly 5.6 million apprenticeship starts ✅ Creating 680 apprenticeship standards, with 170 at degree level 🇬🇧 Ensuring nearly 70% of occupations are available via an apprenticeship (for context, in Germany, that number is only 33%) As a former apprentice who is now privileged enough to be the Education Secretary, I am determined to go further. That's why just last year, we put apprenticeships on the university applications website UCAS to make it easier for young people to see what’s available and apply for apprenticeships in the same way they apply for universities. And we are expanding the number of apprenticeships available across even more occupations. It was fantastic to speak at a Bright Blue event on the future of post-16 education at Multiverse yesterday. Bit by bit, we are creating a society where when we think of apprenticeships, the first thing that pops into our minds is broadening opportunities and routes for everyone. #Apprenticeships #Education #Business #Industry #DegreeApprenticeships #FurtherEducation #HigherEducation #University
