The Electrotechnical Skills Partnership (TESP) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) recently organised an event bringing together employers and training providers to inform them about the latest apprenticeship developments.
Sponsored by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), the event provided a range of information on all aspects of the new apprenticeship standard and an update on the apprenticeship funding proposals - including the new Apprenticeship Levy.
Attendees heard from a range of speakers, including TESP Vice Chair Steve Burley, who spoke about the background to the standard's development and IET Director of Membership and Professional Development Michelle Richmond, who spoke about the links between the new standard and professional registration. Joint Industry Board (JIB) Chief Executive Steve Brawley also discussed details of the new governance model for the apprenticeship standard which TESP and the IET will jointly oversee on the industry's behalf.
