1,000 apprentices across the public sector

PRESS RELEASE

We’ve delivered 1,000 apprenticeships across the public sector

We’re celebrating a key milestone for our Apprenticeship Framework, as we mark the launch of this years’ National Apprenticeship Week'.

Since the launch of the YPO Apprenticeship Framework in 2018, we have delivered over 1,030 apprenticeships across a number of roles in the public sector.

The framework currently offers 284 apprenticeship standards to our customer base, supported by 257 providers from across the UK.

The standards available are in line with the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) and range from healthcare and teaching roles to technology and policing.

For National Apprenticeship Week 2023, we’re calling on more public sector organisations and suppliers to consider how apprenticeship training can teach future proof skills and fill positions for the next generation of public sector professionals.

Agnieszka Gajli, Strategic Procurement Manager at YPO, said: “We’re proud to have supported over 1,000 apprenticeships, kickstarting many career journeys and providing valuable additional skills to staff in the public sector. It’s been amazing to see the progression of the apprenticeship framework and we hope more organisations realise its potential.

Apprenticeships are not just for new starters, they can also provide vital training for existing staff in areas such as digitalisation and business and administration. We will continue to adapt and update the YPO Apprenticeship Framework to provide the best value and service to the public sector.”

Due to the constant developing apprenticeships market and shifting demands of the public sector, the YPO Apprenticeships Framework has been created to offer flexibility. We re-open the framework with new rounds periodically to enhance the current offering, allowing for new standards and providers to be added.
