Past Events

On submission of the ILR, we produce performance reports for Members. This is a session in how to navigate around the GTA England benchmark reports by the RCU. The session will show all the features of the reports, the provision map in the network and a couple of new fields to help inform on the impact of Covid - in-year retention, pass rates, out of funding learners were your organisations performance can be compared to the GTA England average

Following contacts with members we are to establish a forum for CEOs (or Lead Contacts) to share experience and knowledge to assist and improve the strategic and operational capabilities of those wishing to participate. This first event will explore topics for coverage and have a focus on the recently published White Paper: Skills for Jobs.

We will consider topics of the day in the light of recent government publications and announcements; and how members are considering responding

For Managers responsible for EPA and staff responsible for briefing Apprentices and companies on EPA. Although we will cover many standards the first event will focus on the Engineering Technician with particular emphasis on the “professional competence” element of the process which many Apprentices find challenging.  We have great examples of anonymised real-life evidence to share. Also we are hoping for an input from colleagues from the IET.
