Sunny here. 12:07:15 From Wilson To Everyone: And from sunny!!! Kingston (raining and dull) 12:07:32 From Kathryn Whittingham To Everyone: Hi from Sydney 12:08:02 From Stef Cope To All Panelists: Hello from Birmingham! I am a career consultant and I have just taken on looking at what career development can be input within degree apprenticeships and just wondering what other unis do to include this for students. Early learning stages for me :) 12:08:15 From Fabio Mischiatti To All Panelists: Hello from Ribeirao Preto, Sao Paulo, Brazil 12:08:22 From Debbie McVitty To Stef Cope and All Panelists: Hi Staf - toggle your blue button to everyone! 12:08:30 From Debbie McVitty To Stef Cope and All Panelists: Stef, sorry! 12:08:38 From Stef Cope To Everyone: Hello from Birmingham! I am a career consultant and I have just taken on looking at what career development can be input within degree apprenticeships and just wondering what other unis do to include this for students. Early learning stages for me :) 12:09:10 From Stef Cope To All Panelists: Thanks Debbie! 12:09:26 From Tamás Lestár To Everyone: Winchester here 🤠 12:10:29 From Therese Lawlor-Wright To Everyone: So the diagram is showing that degree apprenticeships are now almost 40% of the starts on apprenticeships? 12:11:29 From JayneTaylor To Everyone: Hello from sunny Sheffield and The Elephant Group - our network of schools are extremely interested in HD apprenticeships 12:12:11 From Julie Vincent To Everyone: Also hello from sunny, but very cold Sheffield! 12:14:14 From Nelly Luckett (she/they) - Kent Union To Everyone: Hi from Kent Union. I'm intrigued as to how you think we can best develop belonging with higher degree apprentices. Lots of our HDAs are based on a tiny satellite campus and a long way from our main campuses. How do we create belonging for that group when their work commitments and location mean engaging with our main provision is almost impossible? 12:15:03 From Alina Congreve To Everyone: Interesting point about working with large national clients….if you work with National Clients and that is set up and working well and established… that can free up resources to then work with SMEs….There are some sectors where there are a lot of SMEs - construction, ecology, environmental management which play a critical role in the sector… they needs skilled people to fulfil other policy objectives. 12:15:44 From Lizzie Morgan, Sheffield Hallam University To Everyone: Hi everyone from Sheffield Hallam - a hard frost looking beautiful in the sunshine, but it's very cold out there! 12:16:29 From Nicky King To Everyone: Actually I disagree about apprenticeship provision needing to be distanced from the large public funded (HEI) body i.e. large university. Being part of the university (ref previous question about belonging) should be core to the offer and success of the programmes 12:16:33 From Melanie Parker To Everyone: What is the minimum level of scale? 12:16:48 From Nicky King To Everyone: *programmes delivered by universities 12:17:18 From mkendrick To Everyone: I agree Nicky 12:17:21 From Therese Lawlor-Wright To Everyone: Apprentices still get asked the NSS questions about students union etc. 12:17:37 From Alice Towndrow (She/Her), UoW To Everyone: What are some examples of the specialist technology used? 12:17:40 From Emily To Everyone: Definitely agree that maintaining adherence to ESFA regulations in larger provisions is so vital but the biggest challenge 12:18:17 From Fran Walker-Martin - UCLan DA Lead - ASET Chair To Everyone: We use Meeting Owl Pro as one of our tech solutions to bring people into the room. 12:18:45 From mkendrick To Everyone: The hardest part is enabling the academic process that underpin degrees into the EFSA funding rules 12:19:35 From Rebecca Taylor To Everyone: but also that what employers want is best for the long term prospects of employees 12:19:37 From Emily To Everyone: Completely agree - combining two very regulated systems is a huge challenge 12:19:38 From Hazel Rounthwaite To Everyone: I agree James - even if it is controversial 12:20:10 From Tudor, Sarah To Everyone: I think that employers also don't always understand the best way to achieve what they think they want and what will ensure the success and progression of their apprentices. 12:20:26 From Hazel Rounthwaite To Everyone: It isn't about not listening it is about helping them to interpret it effectively. 12:20:36 From Catherine Elliott To Everyone: Agree, employers think about bottom line which is often short term, apprenticeships should prepare people for whole career not just next couple of years with one employer 12:20:39 From Alina Congreve To Everyone: There are employers….. but also employer groups - professional bodies who can take a bit of a step back and look at what the sector needs over 5 to 10 years. And persuade the sector that they can look ahead 12:21:24 From Catherine Elliott To Everyone: Also hard for many employers to actually have a voice to influence apprenticeship design even if they do really know what they need 12:21:54 From Michelle Merry To Everyone: Also, it is worth helping employers understand the long term organisational value of Apprenticeships in their business. I find many don't realise this. 12:21:55 From Paul Illingworth De Montfort Univ England To Everyone: Apprenticeships in health & social care are a partnership between HEI and organisation. Alao need to sort Professional body, Ofstead, QAA etc tec 12:22:14 From hsjd6 To Everyone: I agree about apprentices coming into University do not get that same sense of belonging and feeling part of the Uni and community, we try at induction to do this but they choose not to engage in the same way its definitely not a want for trying 12:22:28 From Paul Illingworth De Montfort Univ England To Everyone: also* 12:22:40 From Tudor, Sarah To Everyone: Employers also bring their own bias of who they think are best placed to provide the training they need and of the support they think they have in place for their employees 12:23:55 From Sarah Reynolds-Golding To Everyone: To be truly successful it needs to be bespoke, but also part of the tapestry of the organisation. 12:24:05 From Squire, Karen To Everyone: In large institutions/universities you can build a community of apprentices, and run events to meet their specific needs. Apprentices really enjoy and appreciate the opportunity to network with other apprentices. 12:24:10 From Louise Osborne To All Panelists: Are the motivations of apprenticeships different? If they want something different from their university experience which calls for a different approach. 12:24:19 From Leah Hardcastle To Everyone: Are there many degree apprenticeships in publishing? 12:24:21 From Hazel Rounthwaite To Everyone: I think it depends on the programme and profession as some are quite happy not being on campus and still have a great experience where as some are much more effective attending campus. Also depends on culture at the organization, what the apprentice has experienced previously. Some of our apprentices have never been to university so don't feel they need to and still have a great experience. 12:24:59 From Liz Cleaver To Everyone: It also depends on the size of the employer - cohorts can establish in large employers. Some apprentices are operating alone 12:25:08 From Catherine Elliott To Everyone: Different regulatory and professional bodies work differently and often wider regulation of apprenticeships and the way the standards are designed doesn't align easily (as a regulator we talk to IfATE regularly but it's difficult for them to understand how different professions work) 12:25:29 From Elly Philpott To Everyone: Skunk works approach! 12:25:30 From Michelle Merry To Everyone: I agree about the sense of belonging, Apprentices and their organisations look for value in the provision that universities offer. Having something that their organisation doesn't offer, such as speakers who are industry icons in many way. 12:25:56 From Nicky King To Everyone: agree with that reflection James. What that also means is that there's a large overhead to get all those specialist things set up (if not part of normal business) and of course these are essentially home fee students so there's no wriggle room financially when we can't 'top up' with international fees therefore you need to be able to take that financial risk 12:26:04 From Paul Illingworth De Montfort Univ England To Everyone: agree Catherine Elliott 12:27:22 From Debbie McVitty To emma and All Panelists: HI Emma, toggle your blue button to everyone! 12:27:26 From John de Pury To Everyone: Picking up Paul's comment re complexity of health and social care apprenticeships, there's huge ambition to deliver NHS clinical workforce expansion via apprenticeships. What might an incoming Labour administration do to make this possible? What are risks/blockers that need working through? 12:27:27 From Richard Harrison (he/him) To Everyone: Think that’s a really valuable point Nicky costs, income and financial risk. Wonder if there may come a point where some university providers of DAs are going to need to take a harder look at these questions, having got towards the end of a start-up phase for DAs. 12:28:20 From Debbie McVitty To Everyone: Matt has written for Wonkhe on degree apprenticeships - see here: https://wonkhe.com/blogs/whats-next-for-degree-apprenticeships/ 12:28:36 From Alina Congreve To Everyone: Catherine Elliott agree about IfATE - and that is not an issue with the individual members of staff but the very wide portfolio they cover does not enable them to become familiar with professions, and can lead to misalignments of the costs allowed to deliver programmes…One way some professions have mitigated this is to work with professional bodies/ and paid for facilitation to bring in extra resourcing. 12:28:36 From Paul Illingworth De Montfort Univ England To Everyone: big question John de Pury 12:30:13 From emma To Everyone: One thing I’m acutely aware of is that university services are targeted in both their content and their availability (i.e. M-F 9-5) in a way that excludes apprentices. So we need to try to expand opening time/methods as well as ensuring that the content (such as employability support) are much better and more targeted in a way that is intersting to and useful for apprentices - at the moment it tends to get ignored as its “not for us” 12:30:36 From Alina Congreve To Everyone: Agree Nicky King there needs to be more recognition that apprenticeships can’t be made viable by cross subsidy from international fees…and that they are not lower costs to run than traditional degrees. 12:31:13 From Michelle Merry To Everyone: Agreed Emma, the employability support is generally aimed at UG. 12:31:40 From Nicky King To Everyone: Richard Harrison, I see two possible outcomes. Either the funding for apprenticeship bands does increase in a why that the standard UG home fee does not and so apprenticeships actually become more financially attractive. Or the funding bands are frozen and thus depreciate in value like the £9250 and then some institutions start to step away as these programmes become financial unsustainable due to these overhead costs 12:31:45 From Paul Illingworth De Montfort Univ England To Everyone: Michelle Merry and 18-21 year olds 12:32:45 From Anthony To Everyone: finance is important if DA's going to be sustainable given other pressures in sector, Is there any indication that Gov recognises this along with the practical value to economy? 12:33:02 From emma To Everyone: Its also the availability of thinks like academic support, office hours, library support, academic skills support that need adjusting... 12:33:20 From Richard Harrison (he/him) To Everyone: Thanks @Nicky, that makes sense to me. 12:33:24 From Michelle Merry To Everyone: Absolutely Paul Illingworth! 12:33:31 From Sammy Shummo To Everyone: From the meetings that I have attended with IFATE, DfE and UVAC an increase above £27,000 is not on the cards at all 12:33:38 From James Sowray & Matt Hamnett To Everyone: I think it’s deeply unlikely that funding rates increase; the trends has been down… 12:34:03 From Sammy Shummo To Everyone: If anything the challenge at the moment is to keep the funding bands as they are when the standards are reviewed 12:34:10 From hsjd6 To Everyone: Our recent ESFA audit lasted nearly a year. 12:35:36 From Robert Cooke (Sheffield) To Everyone: Has the expansion of apprenticeships in certain subject areas contributed to a decline in applications for traditional degrees in those areas? Thinking particularly about Nursing. 12:36:02 From Alina Congreve To Everyone: One risk of inadequate funding bands is that universities withdraw, but also that qualifications are not able to afford to use up to date tools and technologies so employers are not getting people with up to date and relevant skills… leading to a loss of confidence all around in the qualifications.. 12:36:23 From Simon Pollard To Everyone: Very challenging to deliver DAs via "normal University" structures. Matt's "specialist, grow and then embed" is a better approach. 12:36:43 From Nicky King To Everyone: yes the scenario where there are increases in funding was always unlikely. But the impact will be institutions withdrawing and certainly no new ones entering the field this restricting access to both new and existing standards 12:37:31 From James Sowray & Matt Hamnett To Everyone: Yes I think some consolidation in the market is quite likely. Fewer institutions, reaching the scale required to be sustainable. 12:37:42 From Simon Pollard To Everyone: Your mindset needs to be different for employers large and small. 12:38:05 From Hazel Rounthwaite To Everyone: interesting point Robert Cook. I personally think that those that access provision via an apprenticeship aren't those typically likely to access mainstream provision (certainly in the main), however we have found that it has supported our recruitment more than cannibalised our own offer. We recruit heavily in LD and MH nursing for an apprenticeship route and few in Adult whereas our pre-reg standard provision is the opposite. 12:38:17 From Richard Harrison (he/him) To Everyone: That makes sense Matt, provided that government is genuine about diversity of mission so that universities that choose to pull back as others expand aren’t punished for that strategic choice. 12:38:31 From James Sowray & Matt Hamnett To Everyone: Agree Richard 12:39:28 From emma To Everyone: I feel we also need to be careful about how people view apprentices/apprenticeships - they shouldn’t be something any member of staff dreads getting involved in, or views it as a lesser degree/job. So supporting academic staff to teach apprenticeships if they need to do it differently to “normal” students. And to ensure that this teaching/work and its associated admin is recognised in performance and progression pathways. 12:40:46 From Nick Barratt (speaker) To Everyone: We found it very helpful to see DAs as a different learning product mapped to different audiences - requires a shift in thinking towards designing the learning experience that suits the learner and employer need, and therefore appropriate modes of delivery. It's at that point that you can think about how the learning experience shapes the with student experience and what additional value they draw from it 12:40:49 From Emily To Everyone: It's incredibly rewarding to speak with learners who have had doors open to furthering their careers via degree apprenticeships 12:41:04 From Sarah Reynolds-Golding To Everyone: How are people managing the initial assessment of potential needs now? 12:41:48 From hsjd6 To Everyone: The national shortage in university applications for nursing is down to many factors and I do think apprenticeship provision is more attractive to some of the students particularly cost of living and this 'earn as you learn' approach which was mature students initially but we are getting younger ones as times goes on. 12:42:01 From James Sowray & Matt Hamnett To Everyone: When we work with large clients, their motivation for engaging with DAs is very often about widening the talent pool they recruit from - and / but in our experience you have do some particular things to make that a reality 12:43:56 From Tudor, Sarah To Everyone: I agree that it is important to consider the costs of apprenticeships very differently to the costs of a typical UG programme. However, I think that innovative approaches, flexible timetabling and support systems can ensure that DA's are cost effective and the value added is considerable. 12:44:14 From hsjd6 To Everyone: We are using APTEM as a managment IT system it is time consuming but long term will be fab and great for Ofsted. 12:46:06 From Jane Edwards To Everyone: We are using Bud as an apprenticeship software system, still early days, however long term will be so much better/easier for tracking, reporting, compliance and Ofsted/ESFA Audit. 12:46:09 From Oliver Lowe To Everyone: Thanks everyone for a really interesting discussion. Will we get a copy of the recording and the chat? 12:46:25 From Eleanor Wheal To All Panelists: Does anyone use Cognassist for the initial needs assessment? 12:46:33 From Rebecca Taylor To Everyone: We also saw a forensic focus on CE-IAG for apprentices as an embedded part of their programme in our recent Ofsted experience. 12:47:06 From Marie To Everyone: How are people supplying disability/SEND related support to their learners/students? Given the diversity of background for recruitment to DAs, it would be expected that additional learning need would present... 12:48:18 From mkendrick To Everyone: how do you fit academic regulations if a student is failing and still meet esfa funding rules? 12:48:43 From mkendrick To Everyone: I have a different interpretation of the rules from our compliance team! 12:49:17 From Debbie McVitty To Lisa Whiston and All Panelists: Hi Lisa toggle your blue button to everyone 12:50:05 From Hazel Rounthwaite To Everyone: Whilst provision absolutely has to be financially sustainable there is also I think a huge amount of added value that apprenticeship provision brings which is hard to quantify in financial terms. 12:50:51 From hsjd6 To Everyone: What are your views on online learning as we deliver face to face all of the time at request of apprentices and employers? 12:51:00 From Alina Congreve To Everyone: Quality - auditing, Ofsted and risk management is important - but so is quality from the point of view of the employer. That people are leaving apprenticeships with 21st century skills. If not, employers will take the safer option and get a traditional graduate with a 2.1 and resign themselves to up skilling them in the workplace - the way they probably came in. 12:51:05 From Lisa Whiston To Everyone: Hi from the University of Warwick, we are currently looking at options about specialist apprenticeship technology, we use OneFile, but are looking at LMS solutions, so I am interested to hear from colleagues on this webinar what systems and processes you are using and what your experiences have been. My email is l.whiston@warwick.ac.uk. 12:51:28 From James Sowray & Matt Hamnett To Everyone: Aptem and Bud are the leaders in our experience 12:54:08 From hsjd6 To Everyone: I really like APTEM lisa but alot of work initially to set up but this has been done centrally and we have a lead on this. It is accessible by apprentices, coaches and employers, whole journey is on there so a one stop shop 12:56:17 From Richa Dave To Everyone: Hi @Jane Edwards- how was is it using BUD and after sales experience? 12:56:21 From Hazel Rounthwaite To Everyone: I think the challenge is a cultural one, typically Universities approach learners that are adults and are responsible for their own learning. The apprenticeship approach is much more hands on with learners. It is always going to be a challenge when you have a regulatory body who has to have a one size fits all. 12:56:23 From Stef Cope To Everyone: Are there any networks to join to share best practice? Would be great to continue learning and talking 12:56:48 From mkendrick To Everyone: I am being told I have to use smart assessor, I have looked at both Bud and Aptem but all offer some use in compliance but do not add value in a quality provision of the degree 12:56:53 From Simon Pollard To Everyone: Excellent point Hazel. 12:57:09 From Hazel Rounthwaite To Everyone: Stef - there is a group of universities that has a teams space and regular meetings. It is hosted by Sheffield Hallam University. 12:57:32 From Fran Walker-Martin - UCLan DA Lead - ASET Chair To Everyone: @Stef Cope - there are CMDA and SL Communities of Practice that you can join - UVAC support and encourage them. 12:57:49 From Cath Beck To Everyone: Agree Hazel 12:58:07 From Emily To Everyone: Absolutely agree with that point, Hazel. It can be such a conflict to balance the HE perspective of adult learners and the very rigorous monitoring of compliance through ESFA 12:58:13 From Sam Hardy To Everyone: I definitely recommend UVAC for general degree apprenticeships, and the Fellowship of Inspection Nominees for Ofsted related support 12:58:18 From Stef Cope To Everyone: Thanks Hazel -would love to join will have a look! 12:58:20 From Alison Sidebottom To Everyone: How would we access that Teams space? 12:58:34 From Sarah Reynolds-Golding To Everyone: There is also a Russell group network. 12:58:48 From claire ketley To Everyone: I 100% agree with Matts comments about running the programme for excellence , that is at the heart of what we strive to do and everything else falls into place in respect of inspections/audit 12:58:59 From Michelle Merry To Everyone: Hertfordshire University also host a virtual space for providers across the UK 12:59:02 From Alison Sidebottom To Everyone: We're members of that and UVAC as well, I'm at UCL. 12:59:07 From Oliver Lowe To Everyone: @Stef Cope - The Chartered Association of Business Schools also convenes events/discussions for the apprenticeship community in business schools 12:59:56 From Nelly Luckett (she/they) - Kent Union To Everyone: Are there any similar spaces for SUs? At Kent we look after HDA students, but trying to connect to them is proving very challenging, so I'd love to know if anyone has best practice 13:00:16 From Ed Atkinson To Everyone: Thank you for a very informative session. 13:00:30 From Oliver Lowe To Everyone: @Stef Cope - the most recent event we organised for the community is outlined below https://charteredabs.org/events/navigatingofsted/ 13:00:30 From Rebecca Jones To Everyone: HI all - we have a quarterly catch up on the Senior Leader Programme delivery experience - very informal but great for sharing best practice. Let me know if you would like an invitation to the next one - r.1.jones@herts.ac.uk 13:00:34 From Stef Cope To Everyone: thanks everyone, I am looking to support from the careers service within the university so ensuring CEIAG included in our programmes. Happy to connect with anyone interested in the same - stef.cope@bcu.ac.uk 13:00:37 From Paul Illingworth De Montfort Univ England To Everyone: Thank all interesting session. We are doing okay I think but ideas of what we can do. I have to dash (to an actual face to face meeting other side of campus.)
