Building on Young Apprenticeships
The Department for Children, Schools and Families commissioned this report to support the implementation of the recommendations made within the earlier research, 'Young Apprenticeships: Equal Opportunities'. This report: illustrates how to produce careers and training information to promote Young Apprenticeships (YA) to atypical entrants in three strongly gender-segregated sectors; demonstrates how to encourage wider choices and provide practical information, advice and guidance (IAG) through the provision of taster sessions during YA recruitment; and identifies examples of good equalities practice within YA delivery through progress-update visits to the five original case study areas.
The Department for Children, Schools and Families commissioned this report to support the implementation of the recommendations made within the earlier research, ‘Young Apprenticeships: Equal Opportunities’. Composed of three main elements, this report:
- illustrates how to produce careers and training information to promote Young Apprenticeships (YA) to atypical entrants in three strongly gender-segregated sectors
- demonstrates how to encourage wider choices and provide practical information, advice and guidance (IAG) through the provision of taster sessions during YA recruitment
- identifies examples of good equalities practice within YA delivery through progress-update visits to the five original case study areas.
The study identifies that, within the delivery of the YAs, there is a close link between good equalities practice and good practice more generally.
