How to become an Apprenticeship Hub site - Criteria

• Recognise and Value the opportunities that the hub site model could bring to young people, your school and your PE and School Sport network

• Would the model be appropriate for your area ?

• Identify an individual to become the Lead Tutor and support their training needs and release time to prepare and develop the program for September 2014 start.

14

School on their own

• If there is a school on their own who would like an Apprentice we would need to evaluate the potential linkage with a local Apprenticeship Hub site

OR

• Allocate a field Assessor to the role of overseeing the Apprentice.

15

Requirements from schoolsPlease bear in mind if you are a school who wants to develop the programme without the commitment of the Assessing/Training role then this is a possibility.

We could potentially assign a Field Assessor to work with your center, however, there would be no financial contribution to support this model of delivery.
