Recommendation 9
9
Ensure apprenticeship standards are updated every three years with transport manufacturer involvement.
Recommendation
Skills England should ensure that, notwithstanding the recent change to remove the requirement to undertake reviews at fixed points, apprenticeship and other technical education training standards are revised and updated at a minimum of every three years. It is essential that transport manufacturers are closely involved in these reviews, to ensure that technological changes, current skills shortages and requirements specific to certain transport sectors are reflected in the standards. (Recommendation, Paragraph 49) Attracting, developing, and retaining a diverse workforce
