Apprenticeships – A path to university

Apprenticeships are commonly seen as alternative pathways to Higher Education, a vocational route for those looking to get onto the career ladder and learn and progress through an organisational structure. Whilst the Apprenticeship programme can develop vital work skills for its participants it can also be a prime opportunity for some learners to gain experience and qualifications in their career choice, before progressing onto university courses.

Apprenticeship programmes are recognised by universities, and often carry a UCAS points value. The National Apprenticeship Service is working closely with UCAS to extend this to a wider range of qualifications which can count towards a university application. As a result of this, a number of applicants to universities now have a full Level 2 and/or Level 3 Apprenticeship framework to their name.

The Apprenticeship to Higher Education Progression Chart

Summers Covington (a former pupil at Sir John Nelthorpe School) joined SouthBank Training in August 2010 to complete her Level 2 Intermediate Apprenticeship in Business and Administration.
After studying for her A-Levels at John Leggott College, Summers joined the Apprenticeship programme to gain valuable experience and vocational skills before applying to University. Summers gained work experience on placement at both North Lincolnshire Council and front of house at the SouthBank Training Ltd Scunthorpe office. A determined Summers completed her full Apprenticeship framework on 23rd February 2011.
Using her achievements to boost her UCAS points, Summers decided to apply for university, securing a place at Birmingham City University. Summers is now working towards her BA (hons) in English and Media at Birmingham.

Congratulations Summers on all your success

New Year, New Start!

Partnership Working is the way forward…

Following government decisions in relation to departmental responsibilities,
Apprenticeship funding streams have been rationalised to provide a smaller
management base for the Skills Agency Contract Managers.  Small companies such as ours have been required to enter a new era in terms of contract management and to this end we are pleased to announce that we have chosen to form a Partnership with Chamber Training (Humber) Ltd.  Our decision to do this is based upon the quality, credibility and sustainability of Chamber Training and an excellent working relationship already in place.

As an Employer (or learner) you will experience no change in current practices and delivery however, The Skills Funding Agency will continue to seek your opinion through the Framework for Excellence surveys and our Recruitment Manager will guide you through this process if necessary.

We feel that the Partnership with Chamber Training will provide a solid platform for moving forward and delivering quality training across the Humber sub region and we hope we can enjoy the continued support of you – our valued Employers.

Emily is a cut above the rest with hairdressing success

Emily Reed, a former pupil at Frederick Gough School was keen to pursue a career in hairdressing.  After undertaking her school work experience in a local hairdressing salon, Emily applied to do an Apprenticeship in hairdressing with Kieran Mullin Salons.

Before Emily commenced her Apprenticeship, she developed her skills and experience through the Ambitions programme.  Achieving her Level 1 NVQ in hairdressing and Level 1 Certificate in Adult Numeracy, provided her with the ideal stepping stone for the Apprenticeship Programme with Kieran Mullin/ KM Training.

 “I am happy that I have achieved my qualifications.  The qualifications have helped me complete my goal of pursuing my career with Kieran Mullin.”

Well done Emily for achieving your goals and ambitions.
