Prospect has launched a strategy that includes a range of supporting initiatives for apprentices, such as:
- support to ensure apprentices get the most from their training
- a tailored value-added career and personal development programme held in the workplace
- the development of apprentice mentors who will be trained in areas such as assertiveness, presentation skills and mental health awareness.
- professional registration awareness training including access to a RegTech adviser for engineering, IT and science-related apprenticeships
- details about careers, information forums and events
- a branch-led intelligence-gathering tool to establish the current, and projected, picture of apprenticeships in workplaces where Prospect is recognised.
