Fifty nine apprenticeship standards in engineering and manufacturing will be reviewed by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education in its largest ever route review. Recommendations from this, the fifth such review, will be published in the winter of 2020/21; and there will be a public consultation running for 12 weeks from today until 8 January for employers, apprentices, providers and anyone with an interest in these apprenticeships to have their say. Standards under review include aerospace engineer, furniture manufacturer and rail engineering operative. The institute’s chief executive Gerry Berragan said: “These sectors have a huge pool of apprentices and rely on them to develop the quality skills needed. “This review will help provide employers with the right apprenticeships needed with the right quality.” Dr Graham Honeyman CBE, route panel chair for the engineering and manufacturing sector, said: “It is vital we make sure apprenticeships are fit for businesses looking to develop young talent, which is why I would like to urge as many people as possible to take part in this consultation and support the vital review.” The very first standards route review was a year ago, and led to 12 standards in the digital sector being cut down to nine. Two more reviews into creative and design and hair and beauty standards were launched during summer and are ongoing. A fourth review, into agriculture, environment and animal care, was launched a week ago.
