Apprentices and Vocational Education: Standards
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what representations she has received on the potential merits of having employers set standards for (a) apprenticeships and (b) T Levels through (i) Trailblazers and (ii) T Level Panels.
Answered by Janet Daby
Employers are well placed to specify what knowledge, skills and behaviours lead to competence in an occupation, yet they tell the department that the current processes for preparing occupational standards can feel slow, bureaucratic, and time-consuming. This is a barrier to their engagement. We want to focus their input where it has most impact, including through Education Trailblazer Groups and T Level Panels.
