An evaluation of the Assembly's Apprenticeship scheme and recommendations for the future
Supporting documents:
- Restricted enclosure 2
Minutes:
Rebecca Hardwicke, Rhodri Wyn
Jones and Carolyn Owen were welcomed to the meeting to discuss the review of
effectiveness of the Apprenticeship scheme and provide recommendations for the
future. The Board were asked to consider running a third scheme and whether
there was support for a scheme for Assembly Members and how this might be run.
The Board agreed to launch a
Commission scheme for four new apprentices to start in September, aimed at
non-graduate 16-24 year olds. It was also agreed that there should be a
flexible rotational approach to placements, to give apprentices
a variety of experience across different areas of the Assembly. The team
support pool would be used to enable apprentices to apply for substantive posts
at the end of their term and to support capacity planning.
There
was clear support from Members for an apprenticeship scheme and the Board
discussed the employment matters and resource implications of doing so.
Management Board agreed further work was needed to explore the potential for
developing a scheme where apprentices would work with Members.
HR
would prepare a business case for the Commission scheme for the Investment and
Resources Board to consider.
