12 Purpose of this framework Summary of the purpose of the framework Summary of the purpose of the framework National Apprenticeship Service (NAS) Statement on Apprenticeship Quality Definition 1. An Apprenticeship is a job with an accompanying skills development programme designed by employers in the sector. It allows the apprentice to gain technical knowledge and real practical experience, along with functional and personal skills, required for their immediate job and future career. These are acquired through a mix of learning in the workplace, formal off the job training and the opportunity to practice and embed new skills in a real work context. This broader mix differentiates the Apprenticeship experience from training delivered to meet narrowly focused job needs. 2. On completion of the Apprenticeship the apprentice must be able to undertake the full range of duties, in the range of circumstances appropriate to the job, confidently and competently to the standard set by the industry. CITB-ConstructionSkills Apprenticeship Definition as defined by the Construction Industry Definition An in construction is a form of vocational training whereby the apprentice follows a ConstructionSkills' approved framework to develop skills and knowledge and who would then demonstrate and evidence their application in a construction environment. In order to complete a Construction Apprenticeship the apprentice must have been employed during the, have evidenced competence in the specified range of vocational skills and have an employed status at the time of completion. Stakeholders The core participants involved in a Construction Apprenticeship are: Employer the primary provider of learning in the workplace, and supports the apprentice through mentoring, learning and payment of wages Apprentice contributes to the productivity of the employer and undertakes the requisite learning Training provider provides off-site tuition and administrative support to both the employer and apprentice. (Training providers can include colleges, training centres, manufacturers, suppliers and some employers.) Government provides a financial contribution to the training costs of the Managing agent sets up and monitors the and obtains and distributes the government funding. The managing agent can also be the training provider or the employer.

13 (Apprentices can choose not to have a managing agent.) The Construction Technical and Professional framework has a role in supplying a qualified workforce to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The vast majority of companies in the sector are small, with over 97% employing fewer than 25 people. Only 1% of sector businesses employ more than 60 people, although these firms carry out a disproportionate share of the work by. Over one-third (38%) of the construction workforce in England is self-employed. Self-employment is particularly high in the main craft trades where it averages around 60% of the workforce, and is also highly concentrated in some regions. Regional analysis shows proportions of self-employment above 40% in London, the East and South East, as well as the West Midlands. There are 1,817,049 employees in construction in England, and by the year 2015, a further 38,630 new recruits will be needed to fill the posts of those that retire or leave the industry. The following is the annual recruitment for construction technical, supervision and management for the period 2011 to Construction professionals and technical staff 1,000 Construction managers 3,200 Surveyors 710 The priorities for the sector for 2010 to 2014 are to: improve productivity attract, retain and develop talent increase diversity improve supervisory, management and leadership skills collaborate with employers and stakeholders. An in construction follows a pattern of vocational training to meet the requirements of a ConstructionSkills' approved framework. This enables apprentices to develop skills and knowledge which they can then demonstrate and evidence in a real construction environment. The Higher Level Apprenticeship at (Level 4) in Construction and Building Services Management and Supervision (Sustainability) has been developed to meet the need of the building services sector who work across a broad range of areas and is designed to assess occupational competence in the workplace and demonstrate knowledge and understanding through the technical certificate. The introduction of the Higher Level 4 Apprenticeship will address the following: Provide progression onto Level 5 and above Allow entry onto degree programmes

14 Assist retention and provide a pathway for experienced workers Improving supervisory, management and leadership skills The Higher Level Apprenticeship and integrated Foundation Degree at (Level 5) in Construction Operations Management has been developed to meet the national need to recruit construction operations managers that is not being met by the existing training and education system. The Sustainable Built Environment Apprenticeship (Level 5) has been developed to allow Technicians from around the country who are employees of some of the top built environment organisations to be able to demonstrate their skills and knowledge in the workplace through the NVQ Level 5 Diploma whilst at the same time extending their learning at college or university through the HND Diploma Construction and the Built Environment. The introduction of the Higher Level Apprenticeship will address the following: Encouraging recruitment from a more diverse pool of talent Assisting retention by providing employers and employees with appropriate support and progression Promoting lifelong learning as an aid to achieving qualifications, career progression and CPD Improving supervisory, management and leadership skills Increasing employer investment in training and development to improve productivity The Advanced (Level 3) in technical occupations has been meeting the needs of employers since the mid-1990s. This framework includes the following occupations at Advanced (Level 3) Higher (Level 5) in Construction Technical, Supervision and Management. Advanced (Level 3) Built Environment and Design Construction Contracting Operations Construction Site Supervision Civil Engineering for Technicians Occupational Work Supervision Building Control Geomatics Data Analysis Town Planning Higher (Level 4) Sustainable Built Environment Higher (Level 5)

15 Foundation Degree Professional Practice in Construction Operations Management Sustainable Built Environment Aims and objectives of this framework (England) The aim of this framework is to attract, retain and develop talent into a range of occupations at Advanced (Level 3) and higher (Level 4 and 5) in construction technical and professional in order to provide the industry with a well trained productive workforce. 1. Attract new people from a range of diverse backgrounds into construction technical, supervision and management to broaden the industry talent pool in England. 2. To provide broad-based training for a range of technical, supervision and management occupations in order to retain staff and increase productivity. 3. To provide a structured career path for technical, supervision and management occupations to progress to higher level jobs using further and higher education.

16 Entry conditions for this framework There are a variety of ways to enter an in construction technical and professional, for example: STEP into construction project the women and work sector pathways initiative (W&WSPI) completed a young scheme (14-16) in construction achieved a Construction and Built Environment Diploma (14 19) Functional Skills English and Maths, or Key Skills Application of Number and Communication (achieved before September 2012 and within 5 years immediately prior to starting an Apprenticeship) A Levels and GCSEs at Grades A C (achieved before September 2012 and any time prior to starting the Apprenticeship) Intermediate (Level 2) Apprenticeship in Construction Building, Construction Civil Engineering or Construction Specialist Advanced (Level 3) Apprenticeship in Construction Building, Construction Civil Engineering or Construction Specialist Higher (Level 4) is specifically designed to meet the needs of candidates who have gained Level 3 qualifications (Advanced Apprenticeship) or those with appropriate prior experience of work in the sector. As a consequence the qualification is not suitable for younger (pre18+) learners. Higher (Level 5) is specifically designed to meet the needs of candidates who have gained Level 3 qualifications (Advanced Apprenticeship) or those with appropriate prior experience of work in the sector. As a consequence the qualification is not suitable for younger (pre18+) learners. a suitable level of physical fitness to perform aspects of the job (e.g. working out-doors in all seasonal weather conditions) RULES TO AVOID REPEATING QUALIFICATIONS Processes exist to make sure that applicants with prior knowledge, qualifications and experience are not disadvantaged by having to repeat learning. Training providers and awarding organisations will be able to advise on the current rules for accrediting prior learning and recognising prior experience. An Intermediate (Level 2) Advanced (Level 3) Higher (Level 4-5) Apprenticeship framework specifies that an apprentice must achieve Functional Skills/GCSE (with enhanced functional content) and Key Skills. See the list of Transferable Skills in this framework document. Knowledge qualifications: If applicants already have one of the knowledge qualifications from the Intermediate (Level 2) or Advanced (Level 3) before starting their Apprenticeship (see the

17 Qualifications page for each pathway), they do not have to redo the qualification providing that they achieved the qualification within five years of starting the. The hours they spent gaining the qualification will also count towards the minimum hours required for this framework. Competence qualifications: If applicants already have the competence qualification from the Intermediate (Level 2) or Advanced (Level 3) for this framework (see the Qualifications page for each pathway) they cannot use the competence qualification as a component part of this ; competence qualifications must be achieved as part of the. Prior experience: Applicants already working in the sector may be able to have their prior experience recognised by the Awarding Organisation, and this will count towards the competence and knowledge qualifications within this framework. Initial Assessment Training providers and employers will use initial assessment to ensure that applicants have a fair opportunity to demonstrate their ability, and to tailor programmes to meet individual needs whilst recognising prior qualifications and experience. Training providers will be able to use Access to Work funding to support apprentices, for example, with additional coaching and mentoring. Entry to an scheme will usually involve a skills learning exercise. This exercise is not a barrier to entry to the, but has been put in place to gauge the candidate s ability for the, and enable extra support and guidance to be given to the candidate if required. Apprentices in the framework can expect to be continually assessed to gauge their suitability for progression Iinto Higher Education (HNC.HND or Foundation Degree). In some occupational areas apprentices would be expected to work at height and outside in all seasonal weather conditions. They could also be expected to travel to sites or in some cases, stay in lodgings whilst working away from home.

121 The remaining sections apply to all levels and pathways within this framework. How equality and diversity will be met How Equality and Diversity will be met The under-representation of women and ethnic minorities remains a priority issue for the industry. Labour force statistics show that when compared with the workforce as a whole, the sector remains amongst the most gender imbalanced in the economy. Whilst, the proportion of Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) workers in construction employment has gradually risen over the past decade to represent 5% of the construction workforce in England, this compares poorly with the wider working population. CITB-ConstructionSkills responsibility as an industry leader We live in a diverse society that is multi cultural and multi-lingual, where everyone is different and has something different to bring to society and the workplace. Construction is an industry which requires a variety of different skills and abilities and it is important that people from different backgrounds, life experiences and abilities are employed within the sector to enable us to achieve the high skill levels needed to be world leaders in the industry. CITB-ConstructionSkills is working to attract and support the best qualified people to work in the sector. As a partner organisation of the Sector Skills Council for the construction industry and an Industry Training Board we encourage construction companies to employ the best qualified person for the job regardless of age, disability, gender-reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion and belief, sex (gender), sexual orientation or socio-economic background. We will also challenge out-of-date practices and promote equality and the business case for diversity to construction companies by working with our partners and government. In Wales, CITB-ConstructionSkills will meet the requirements of the Welsh Language Act and provide services explained in the CITB-ConstructionSkills Welsh Language Scheme. Good Practice for Learning Providers Learner Monitoring Equality and diversity includes social and educational inclusion and tackles equality of opportunity. This goes further than providing equal access to participation. In practice this means all learning providers should: actively promote positive relationships and respect for both staff and learners understand and respect differences between people take positive action to tackle unlawful and unfair discrimination, inequality and unfairness adopt practices that make the best use of the differing skills and talents of individuals

122 focus on improving outcomes that raise standards and improve lives. The two operating principles for inspection and regulation activity relating to equality and diversity are: how effectively a provider is narrowing the achievement gap between different groups of people how effectively a provider actively promotes equality and diversity and tackles discrimination. This will be measured against how effectively: the provider assesses the impact of its work in relation to equality and diversity and has taken appropriate action in response to its findings the provider ensures the effectiveness of training in equality and diversity so that leaders, managers, governors or supervisory bodies, staff and learners understand their roles in relation to equality and diversity. The minimum expected key evidence will be: evidence of actions and impact relating to the two operating principles, giving due regard to all equality strands (protected characteristics) the effectiveness of staff training in equality and diversity (assessed through staff awareness and evidence in their work) how effectively the provider manages learner complaints the progress, development and performance of different groups of learners arrangements for consulting with users and stakeholders how outcomes of impact assessment have led to improvement. External Fairness, Respect and Inclusion Leadership Strategy Aim To lead the construction and built environment sector in improving its performance around Fairness, Respect and Inclusion so that the sector can actively promote equality of opportunity for everyone and attract and retain the quality people it needs from a diversity of backgrounds. Objectives To challenge the sector as to how it can embrace fairness, respect and inclusion. To lead the fairness respect and inclusion agenda in the sector. To make the business case that fairness, respect and inclusion is good for business in terms of improving performance and saving costs. To help and support the sector in meeting the current and emerging legislation around Equality and Diversity. To identify, initiate and promote best practice across the sector. To provide accurate and authoritative LMI for the sector on equality and diversity and the

123 protected characteristics. To ensure that fairness, respect and inclusion are integrated into the CITB-ConstructionSkills IAG strategy, action plans, policies and procedures. To ensure that fairness respect and inclusion are integrated into the CITB-ConstructionSkills Qualifications strategy, action plans, policies and procedures. To work in partnership with external groups. To develop products and services that will support the Fairness, Respect and Inclusion agenda in industry. To launch an equality standard for the sector.
