Ealing Apprentices Reap Rewards of HS2 Investment http://dlvr.it/TKVK3h #Apprenticeships #HS2 #Network #OldOakCommon
@ChrisMayLA6 Much appreciated, thanks Prof.
Any employer with any sort of sense of purpose (beyond just the bottom line) has an incredible opportunity, through apprenticeships, to drive meaningful & lasting change.
My career has moved from Youth Work, to HE Widening Participation to Apprenticeships, I believe I've done more, for the people I was trying to enable with #apprenticeships than I could have in the first 2.
We see so many 'rough diamonds' shine with the right chances!
@ChrisMayLA6 BTW, anyone who employs people in England and thinks:
'yeah, I could offer #apprenticeships for people from 'non-traditional' backgrounds'
lemme know.
Broadening access to advanced skills development is entirely my bag, I want to work with you.

Assessing the Value of Incomplete University Degrees: Experimental Evidence from HR Recruiters https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:iza:izadps:dp17693&r=&r=lma
"… studying unsuccessfully for a degree directly related to a job can still yield positive returns in terms of #wages compared to activities not focused on formal #humanCapital accumulation, such as working and traveling. However, back of the envelope calculations show that these increases just cover the direct and opportunity costs of studying.
… HR recruiters view years of unsuccessful study without a direct link to a job as “lost” years, offering substantially lower wages to such applicants compared to people who have a university entrance diploma but have never studied.
… recruiters highly value alternative forms of human capital acquisition, and may largely prefer it to unsuccessful university studies. In the scenario we used, HR recruiters showed a strong preference for people without a degree who had completed a company-based #traineeship.
In sum, these results suggest that a failed degree is rarely a worthwhile investment—at least in the eyes of HR recruiters."

“Trump is attacking working people so he & his billionaire friends can hoard more money.”
-B Wikler
“Last night, President Trump
rolled back critical protections for workers, incl. EOs aimed at registered apprenticeships, project labor agreements, & the $15 minimum wage for fed contractors -weren’t just empty rhetoric, they ensured fair wages, safe workplaces, and increased opportunities for apprenticeships. Now, they’re gone.”

#Tech #jobs are now #whitecollar trades that need #apprenticeships, not a career crawl
They typically see graduates hired to work on help desks and encouraged to gain experience by building and experimenting with a home lab or acquiring vendor certifications so they can secure a role in a network operations center. While that progression builds skills, it can mean a decade or more passes before they advance into more meaningful network engineering roles.

@ChrisMayLA6 @drawkcab If those people are <25 and earn less than £50k it's the perfect moment to upskill them further? Employers have a dangerous tendency to be very 'route one' about training 'we're hairdressers we must access hairdressing #apprenticeships' why not put someone on a business admin course and get them to help streamline the opperation, access a marketing course and bring in more business etc etc?
@drawkcab @ChrisMayLA6 Finally, #apprenticeships (the course/training element) are essentially free
(big firms get a tax rebate for using them, small firms pay a maximum of 5% of the face price of the course, but there's vast amounts of money sloshing about in 'Levy Transfer' pots, making it rare that non-levy employers will ever pay anything).
If apprenticeships are a good way of learning on the job rather than undertaking a full-time educational route after school, then the likely prospect of the collapse of the apprenticeship ecology for hairdressing salons may be a sign of a wider problem for youth employment, the narrowing of chances for people who choose to learn on the job.
The overlooking of this crisis is one more part of the UK's obsession with academic pathways!
I'm sitting in on the #BCS #NAW25 Local Digital Skills session, shaping up to be a really interesting session, the skills agenda is on the move again and #Apprenticeships and #apprentices need to be at heart of it:
