The employer group has recently submitted an Expression of Interest (EOI) – but before the Department for Education makes its final decision and as part of the assessment process – it is inviting you to comment on proposals to develop new Apprenticeship Standards, before a decision is made on whether to approve them for further development.
Robert Keen, BIFA director general, says: “Not only do we need to attract more young people to the industry, but it is vital that we have an apprenticeship that is relevant to their day-to-day work.
“The group have done some great work to get to the EOI point, now it is really important we show our support for the submission – which will greatly benefit our industry – by getting as many people as possible to complete this online survey.”
The deadline for the survey is Sunday 5th February and it can be accessed by following the link: Approving the development of new Apprenticeship Standards January 2017.
