How does it work?
Employers will lead the Academy and collaborate with regional partners to ensure it meets the needs of both employers and individuals.
It will focus on consolidating the currently fragmented market of manufacturing skills training and on providing new industry specific development programmes for trainers and assessors accrediting them against new national standards. This will ensure that providers have the latest expertise, industry techniques and knowledge.
Providers have the latest expertise, industry techniques and knowledge.
Initially the Academy will work with the provider network in particular the Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs). We will launch in the North East and the West Midlands, where our focus will be on the NVQ in Business Improvement Techniques, levels 2 and 3, and aim to operate throughout England within three years. We plan to broaden our reach to include schools and Higher Education.
The Academy will align with other national publicly funded programmes, particularly Train to Gain and the Manufacturing Advisory Service (MAS) to ensure that national standards of delivery are adopted.
