The proposers for the pathways within the Construction Civil Engineering Apprenticeship Framework are the following Awarding Organisations (AO): Cskills Awards, SQA Awarding Body, Pearson Education Ltd, Lantra Awards, City & Guilds, EDI and ProQual. ConstructionSkills policy is to work with all proposers of the framework to ensure that the qualifications included in the frameworks meet both employer and SASE requirements. The guidelines produced by ConstructionSkills have identified that to gain support for their Apprenticeship Frameworks proposers must provide the following information: rationale, support from the sector employers, take-up figures and operational dates. All of the proposers of the framework have completed the mandatory AO Qualification Support Application Section 3 (supplied by ConstructionSkills) which requires the proposer to provide a summary of their overall approach to employer engagement, names of employers, industry representatives or Associations/Federations that have been consulted in the development of the current framework. It also requires that the Personal Learning and Thinking Skills (PLTS) within the knowledge qualifications to be identified by unit, and that the qualifications have been registered on Learning Aims Reference Application (LARA). All of this information is then considered by ConstructionSkills Apprenticeship Group to ascertain whether the qualifications are suitable for inclusion/revision before entry onto the AFO. The proposer will then be informed of the outcome and whether further information is required; if compliant the details will be included into the draft framework prior to uploading to the AFO ConstructionSkills Standards and Qualifications Validation Group, which consists of employers, union representatives, education representatives, industry councils and associations/federations, also review any new Apprenticeship pathways, at all levels when required, to ensure that the proposal is beneficial to the construction industry and its employees.

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

13 government funding. The managing agent can also be the training provider or the employer. (Apprentices can choose not to have a managing agent.) The Construction Civil Engineering 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 civil engineering for the period 2011 to Civil engineering operatives 680 Plant operatives 930 Plant mechanics/fitters 410 Civil engineers 1380 Construction professionals and technical staff 1,000 Construction managers 3,200 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 Intermediate (Level 2) and Advanced (Level 3) s in civil engineering occupations have been meeting the needs of employers since the mid 1990 s. This has been developed to help meet the skills priorities of the industry and for

14 England by: continuing to provide qualifications required by employers to help their business grow providing a flexible entry route to attract applicants from under-represented groups including literacy, numeracy, problem solving and employability skills to develop the confidence of apprentices to take with them throughout their working life meeting the requirements of the Specification of Apprenticeship Standards for England (SASE). This framework includes the following occupations at Intermediate (Level 2) and Advanced (Level 3) in Construction Civil Engineering. Intermediate (Level 2) Construction Operations Formwork Highways Maintenance Plant Maintenance Plant Operations Tunnelling Operations Specialist Concrete Occupations Roadbuilding Advanced (Level 3) Plant Maintenance Aims and objectives of this framework (England) The aim of this framework is to attract, retain and develop talent into a range of civil engineering occupations at Intermediate (Level 2) and Advanced (Level 3) in Construction Civil Engineering, and provide progression to supervisory and management level, in order to provide the industry with a well trained productive workforce. 1. Attract new people from a range of diverse backgrounds into construction civil engineering to broaden the industry talent pool in England. 2. To provide broad-based training for a range of occupations in construction civil engineering in order to retain staff and increase productivity. 3. To provide a structured career path for construction civil engineering 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 Civil Engineering, for example: STEP into construction project the women and work sector pathways initiative (W&WSPI) previously worked in construction e.g. as a labourer completed a young scheme (14-16) in construction 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)) Foundation Learning Tier (a construction Civil Engineering occupation at Level 1) A Levels and GCSEs ( achieved before September 2012 and any time prior to starting the Apprenticeship) work experience and a positive attitude Construction Youth Trust that supports young people s journey to work a suitable level of physical fitness to perform aspects of the job (e.g. moving and handling resources, placing and fixing materials) 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) and Advanced (Level 3) 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 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.

17 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 to an Advanced (Level 3) Apprenticeship. 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.
