The untapped potential of Apprentices - a drip or a cascade?
Progression to HE for Apprentices in context
• Government plans to increase the numbers of Apprentices• Current and future skills needs• The Browne review and HE fees• Quality Credit Framework
Current Apprentice progression to Higher Education is 4% (UCAS 2009).
Why?
LSC AdvAnce report (2007-9)
• 38% Advanced Apprentices wanted to take up higher level training within 6 months• 45% Advance Apprentices wanted to take
up higher training within 3 years
Mismatch between ambition and progression?
Health and Social Care Apprentices
• Cornwall College and NHS have started an apprenticeship in Health and Social Care
• 2 completed last year • Both only found out by own research• Both had been guided onto other level 3 courses
which did not suit them • Now passionate, engaged and want to go onto HE• BUT no clear joined up progression route
