SIAS’ Post

Always enjoy sitting down to discuss all things Apprenticeships, Skills and EPA with Sak Awan - FIEP Also spoke briefly about the key drivers behind our success at SIAS over the past couple of years, and why we are excited about embracing change and a future landscape. #epa #doingthingsdifferently #people #ifyouvegotasparehalfhourgiveitalisten!

I took the opportunity this afternoon to catch up on the insightful interview Sak Awan - FIEP had with Steve Smith from SIAS. I will definitely be taking away few key topic that resonated with me for my team: ▶ Tri-Party Partnership: The emphasis on creating conditions for success through collaboration between the apprentice, employer, and training provider is crucial. ▶ SIAS Start Point to End Point Model: This model is vital for the EPAO sector, ensuring a comprehensive and streamlined approach from beginning to end. These are just some of the key elements I took from the interview. The insights shared are incredibly valuable as I continue to develop my own pathways as Head of EPA Operations. My vision for my team and our customers revolves around this partnership model, always prioritising the apprentice's success at the centre.   For those who haven't seen the interview yet, I highly recommend watching it. It's packed with practical insights that can help shape and improve our the world of EPAO.   #Apprenticeships #EPA #SIAS #TriPartyPartnership #Success #ProfessionalDevelopment

Another engaging week delving into skills development! One significant challenge that stands out is how Employers can effectively attract and retain talent while ensuring their staff possess the necessary skills for the job. Utilising the Levy via Apprenticeships is not a one-size-fits-all solution. There is a growing demand for a more adaptable approach to meet diverse needs and the ever growing UK skills gap. In recent discussions, Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQ) have taken the spotlight. It's intriguing to see the appeal from both learners and Employers, showcasing the value and benefits these qualifications bring to the table. If you are curious about HTQs and how you can leverage these qualifications within your business, book a call with me to explore further: https://lnkd.in/eFHQigFX #SkillsDevelopment #TalentRetention #Apprenticeships #HigherEducation #EmployerPerspective GLP Training LtdSam KenwardGemma Louise ParsonsRob MogerPaul NeuchterlienGareth Homer
