Collaborative Apprenticeships
The Collaborative Apprenticeships project aims to increase the quantity and quality of apprenticeships across the Leeds City Region. Bradford College, Calderdale College, Luminate Education Group, Leeds College of Building, Shipley College and Wakefield College, Wakefield Council and the Textile Centre of Excellence will work in partnership with several local employers to deliver key pilot projects.
These pilot projects will test how to use the Levy within the region, support employers to take on and manage apprentices, along with testing new, ‘wrap around’ training and services for apprentices that will be funded by the European Social Fund. This should enhance the apprenticeship experience and equip apprentices with the right skills to help businesses grow.
The project will support all sectors but will have a focus on the skills required to:
- enable the delivery of major capital/infrastructure schemes
- stimulate growth in the digital skills base for businesses in all sectors
- meet replacement demand in engineering and manufacturing
- support sustained growth in the health social care sector
Collaborative Apprenticeships is managed by the West Yorkshire Consortium of Colleges and funded by the European Social Fund (ESF).
