On Monday 19th June, the Learning and Development Trailblazer Group (L&DTEG) met for their 4th meeting. The meeting was extremely successful and involved the group discussing the feedback which was obtained from the wider sector survey which closed on Sunday 11th June. We would like to thank all of the employers and individuals who completed the survey, which has allowed the TEG to ensure that the Standards are meeting employer and industry needs and requirements.
The meeting which was attended by employers including; Walter Smith Fine Foods, Bakkavor, Sainsbury’s, Volvo, Canon Europe and BT, saw the group make significant progress in developing both L&D Standards. It also saw the group vote overwhelmingly to confirm the merger of the L&D and HR Trailblazer groups. The aim for the new, merged group is to launch 4 new apprenticeships in the near future. The group will now assume control of the HR standard at Level 3 & 5 as well as the L&D Practitioner standard at Level 3 and L&D Consultant/Business Partner at Level 5.
Anyone who is interested in keeping up to date with the Standards and/or joining the trailblazer group should contact secretariat@ws-elp.co.uk for more information.
