South West apprenticeship success

Published: Thu, 28 Jan 2010 11:24:28

GOSW has mapped LA apprenticeships in the SW region and established good working relationships with the SW NAS (National Apprenticeships Service) colleagues.

Additionally overall SW performance on apprenticeships is very strong:

  • This year (09/10) in the SW there has been a 9% increase in 16-18 yr old apprenticeships compared to a 2.5% increase nationally;
  • For 19-24 yr old apprenticeships numbers have increased by 30% compared to a 15% increase nationally;
  • Overall the SW is performing well above the national average.

GOSW has have identified that the majority of the Regions LAs have a strategy in place to increase the numbers of apprenticeships employed and making good early progress. Where issues exist GOSW has developed a partnership approach with NAS to improve performance.

Next week (1 - 5 February) is National Apprenticeship Week 2010. For events happening in the South Week please follow the link below.
