1 Luton Borough Council Apprenticeship Strategy Document / Action Plan November 2012 Final Approved The Luton Borough Council Apprenticeship Strategy has two key aims: Increase the number of Luton employers recruiting Increase the take up of by Luton residents Luton Borough Council has a statutory responsibility to secure sufficient education and training places in Luton to meet the training needs of young people (19-24 where the young person has a learning difficulty and/or disability). Under this responsibility it also has a key leadership role to champion the interests of young people in the area. In fulfilling this duty the authority is expected to: Influence and shape the provision on offer and help develop and improve the education and training market; Promote any necessary structural change in the local education and training system; Support the improvement of quality of the education and training of young people aged 16-18; Support employer needs, economic growth and community development; and Support the development of provider and stakeholder networks that help deliver the Raising Participation Age (RPA) targets. The government sees year old as a key component in achieving it s aspiration of RPA to 18 by To increase the number of young people participating we need to offer engaging and appropriate opportunities including. The National Apprenticeship Service has a target of one in five year olds undertaking an apprenticeship by the year 2019/20. Currently there are approximately year olds registered as apprentices and a more realistic estimate, to help us reach RPA, is 1500 almost a three fold increase. Alison Wolf, engaged by the Department of Education to undertake a review of Vocational Education (March 2011), highlighted a shortage of apprenticeship places for year olds and a lack of incentives for employers to be involved in the programme. The Local Statement of Need (LSN) - Luton 2012/13 Apprenticeship Line of Enquiry, concluded, that although participation in is increasing, there is still along way to go in convincing young people, their parents, carers and advisers of the validity of as a route into employment and as a credible and viable alternative to A Level and University study. The same can be said of Luton s employer base. Data from the National Apprenticeship Service shows that numbers of applications from young Luton residents on the Apprenticeship System per vacancy is very low at 8.3 compared with a national figure of 12. 1
2 The Skills & Employability Strategy documents evidence of Luton s low skills base and aspires to develop a skilled workforce, create better opportunities and support a vibrant business economy including developing a culture of aspiration and high achievement to improve the life chances of all residents. This vision has five aims: Increase Luton resident s qualification levels; Increase the number of Apprenticeships available and participation; Ensure the Skills and Qualification requirements of Luton current and future employer base can be met by local resident s; Reduce unemployment and worklessness levels in Luton and; Increase employers involvement in offering and understanding training In order to carry out its statutory duty as outlined, and as part of the delivery of its Skills & Employability and RPA strategies, Luton Borough Council has developed this Apprenticeship Strategy to address issues raised. Supporting the key aims are objectives to improve apprenticeship information, advice and guidance services to employers, young people and their parents; actively promote as a valuable education and employment option; improve the take up of by young people and adults; increase the number of small and medium Luton based employers recruiting and employing apprentices; thereby raising the skill level and aspirations of Luton residents and contributing to the reduction of NEET. In addition, and as a major employer in Luton, the strategy also contains a focus on the development of an internal LBC strategy for the recruitment, training and employment of in-house apprentices, recruitment and training of apprentices on behalf of local employers and a requirement for Tenders in respect of procurement for local authority contracts to include in their bids plans for the recruitment and employment of apprentices. Current Luton Picture The National Apprenticeship Services data as at quarter three) shows the total apprenticeship participation for Luton residents aged as at April 2012 at 2,280, 1,327 intermediate (Level 2) 946 advanced (Level 3) and 7 higher (Level 4). New starts during 2011/12 show 719 intermediate and 479 advanced representing an increase of 34.6% and 7.4% respectively on the full year figure for 2010/11; however, on further scrutiny this masks the fact that recruitment is actually down by 8.2% (31) on the 2010/11 figure. 2
3 The success rates for the full year 2010/11 for Luton residents who were expected to complete their during the year were : a) Intermediate (equates to Level 2), 77.5% an increase of 13.5% on 2009/10 and b) Advanced (equates to a Level 3), 80% an increase of 3% on 2009/10. The demographics of starts are as follows: Starts by Gender 2011/ Female 38.3% Male 61.7% Female 46.0% Male 54.0% 25+ Female 53.6% Male 46.4% Starts by Declared Learning Need 2011/ Yes 6.1% No 93.7% Unknown 0.3% Yes 4.1% No 94.0% Unknown 1.9% 25+ Yes 6.2% No 92.2% Unknown 1.6% Starts by Employer Size 2011/ Small Medium Large Very Large Unknown
4 N.b The above data is supplied by the National Apprenticeship Service. Unfortunately at the current time participation data by ward and ethnicity is unavailable however Luton Borough Council has requested that this data is supplied in the future. The above information highlights a number of issues for Luton: Low numbers of female apprentices aged High levels of unknown employer size information making it difficult to develop a targeted approach The need to establish clear baseline data and that this must include ethnicity and ward level data The action plan set out below encompasses the four roles identified by the National Apprenticeship Service as key elements for inclusion for local authorities when developing an area wide apprenticeship strategy as: Employer Strategic Influencer Commissioner of Services Provider of Apprenticeships The actions contained have been designed to address issues previously identified above, including as key priorities, promotional activities for employers and young people, acquiring complete and accurate data, identifying gaps and securing provision. 4
