Liverpool City Region Local Enterprise Partnership

Current Skills Shortages in the UK have remained the same for the past decade as the supply of trained labour seeks to keep pace with the growth in the Hospitality Sector: Chefs Hospitality Service Supervisory and Junior Management

One issue is poor Careers Guidance in many Schools leading to pupils following academic pathways (A Levels) which do not suit or motivate many learners There is little or no promotion of the Hospitality Sector as an industry offering Employment and Opportunity Employers can play a Major Role by getting into Schools

Parents not understanding the alternative vocational pathways which may suit their children better

Falling demographics at 16yrs Impact of Brexit on Recruitment

Further issues Parents and industry not understanding Education Jargon Which changes on a regular basis eg the terminology of Vocational Training e.g. Traineeships (which should be renamed pre-apprenticeships) Diplomas, GNVQs, AVCEs, Nationals; Baccalaureate…………(different titles: same outcome)

Government very supportive of Apprenticeship training But introduction of Employer Levy may result in non apprenticeship training being ‘mapped’ to Apprenticeship standards to recoup ££ Apprentices paid minimum at £3.40 per hour training wage 40 hours per week allowing time for skills and knowledge development 20% training off the Job

New Apprenticeship standards are more relaxed in terms of content As long as they adequately prepare the learner for employment Now include End Assessment process (which may prove more challenging)

Use of technology to support apprenticeship training involving the use of an App developed by PACE This allows trainees to study independently alongside building practical skills in the workplace Monitored by supervisors and external assessors With support from mentors

No single party can develop skills initiatives alone

Best initiatives are developed through collaboration and partnerships between Training Providers, Employers and Local Enterprise Partnerships

Examples include Liverpool City College working in partnership with Signature Living devising an Apprenticeship suited to their work patterns Assessment patterns, and knowledge requirements.

Examples include London's club land devising an Apprenticeship which suited their work patterns and skills and knowledge requirements, And enabled employees to progress their careers through creative and bespoke qualification pathways.

Hotelier Networks working across a geographical area with FE Colleges and local training providers to limit the time spent away from the workplace by Apprenticeship trainees.

Innovative use of technology to support the training and assessment process Reinforcing live practical skills Encouraging independent learning e.g. PACE App uses the Mobile phone to enable trainees to interact wherever they are

Employer Graduate demand: Developing soft skills; Emotional intelligence, People skills Better suited to a service economy Rather than traditional academic approaches Better suited to a Victorian Manufacturing Economy Children developed and processed through a schools system in ‘Batches’

The Rise of the Study Programme: The mandatory work placement No longer just an Option: All FE students will now take part in structured work placements

Continued Insanity: GCSE resits eating into Skills development delivery hours Think: Algebra for Chefs

Funding is still predominantly government based but also still European Social funding available To support vocational training Until Brexit

Academic assessment of Brexit process Confusion in how long the process will take Current estimates predict 8 and 30 years will be needed to untangle the UK from the EU.

Government SFA funding available for: Traineeship (Work placement based training) (Think Pre-Apprenticeship) Trainees can earn up to £340 per month and delivery could be as short as 8 weeks Enables employers to try before they hire a potential apprentice

Government SFA funding still available for: Apprenticeships Level 2, 3 Now Higher Apprenticeships Level 4 (Junior Managers) And Degree Apprenticeship possibility Level 5 Not all employers are subject to the Levy And some employers paying the Levy will have additional training needs where Apprenticeship funding will still be available from Government

Introduction of Employer Levy for all employers with a salary bill of over £3 million 0.5% Levy can be used to fund company’s Apprenticeship training Vital that a company ‘maps’ its current training to the Apprenticeship standards in order to reclaim the sums deducted by government.

In the meantime the fall in £ sterling will mean increased European and American visitors visiting the UK providing the UK is seen as a welcoming destination. Trump effect may well limit visitors wishing to journey to the United States which can

• nly be good for the UK

Food Security – Food Pricing: Increased threat of food shortages based on global warming and the increased possibility of local and international conflicts

Key areas of training focus in addition to skills training will include: Enterprise (Entrepreneurs and Intrapreneurs) Sustainable Food Procurement Waste Management Energy Management Customer Relationship Management Social Media Communications Intelligences: Non Traditional – eg Emotional, Spatial; Communicational
