Since the government announced its intention to introduce an apprenticeship levy, EAL and Enginuity have undertaken detailed consultation with employers about the implications for industry apprenticeships. Earlier this month we submitted a combined consultation response for the Enginuity Group, highlighting specific concerns and recommendations from industry employers.
Over the next few months the EAL team will be busy supporting a range of industry events devoted to showcasing skills, innovation and achievement. We're proud to be sponsoring the Electrical Industry Awards, The Manufacturer MX Awards and the Manufacturing Champions Awards before Christmas. We'll also be sponsoring the National Apprenticeship Awards in the New Year and supporting the third Enginuity Skills Awards in February.
It really does never cease to amaze me how many awards there are, each championing different skills or parts of the skills journey. But I have come to appreciate, in my day to day role, the real value of doing just this; of celebrating all the contributors and components of building our industry skills pipeline.
As the dust settles on Singapore’s F1 racetrack, some of the UK’s most talented and enthusiastic young engineers are now back in the classroom after competing on a world stage. The F1 in Schools World Finals, held this year in Singapore, gave teams of UK students the chance to design, test, manufacture and race a scale model Formula 1 car against teams from all over the world. It’s a fantastic competition, offering a unique insight and inspiring hands-on experiences to all young people taking part.
