3 Framework information Information on the Issuing Authority for this framework: Construction Skills The Apprenticeship sector for occupations in construction. Issue number: 7 Framework ID: FR01349 This framework includes: Level 2 Level 3 Date this framework is to be reviewed by: 02/01/2013 This framework is for use in: England Short description The construction industry has had for many years a traditional programme covering the craft occupations. This framework will help to attract, retain and develop talent into a range of craft occupations at Intermediate (Level 2) and Advanced (Level 3) in construction building and provide progression to supervisory and management level in order to provide the industry with a well trained productive workforce. Craft occupations for painting and decorating, bricklaying, craft masonry, carpentry, joinery, shopfitting, maintenance and woodmachining are carried out in either workshops or construction sites and within domestic or commercial premises.

7 Purpose of this framework Summary of the purpose of the framework Construction building craft occupations have a traditional 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 the period 2011 to Bricklayers 1,930 Wood Trades and Interior Fit outs 5,180 Painters and Decorators 3,030 Maintenance sector will also see growth but no figures are available Construction professionals and technical staff 1,000 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 craft 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

8 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 Building. Intermediate (Level 2) Decorative Finishing and Industrial Painting Maintenance Operations Trowel Occupations (Bricklaying and Craft Masonry) Wood Occupations (Site Carpentry, Bench Joinery, Shopfitting) Woodmachining Advanced (Level 3) Trowel Occupations (Bricklaying) Wood Occupations (Site Carpentry, Bench Joinery, Shopfitting Bench) Decorative Finishing (Painting and Decorating) Aims and objectives of this framework (England) The aim of this framework is to attract, retain and develop talent into a range of craft occupations at Intermediate (Level 2) and Advanced (Level 3) in construction building, 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 building to broaden the industry talent pool in England. 2. To provide broad-based training for a range of craft occupations in construction building in order to retain staff and increase productivity. 3. To provide a structured career path for craft occupations to progress to higher level jobs using further and higher education.

9 Entry conditions for this framework There are a variety of ways to enter an in construction building, 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 achieved a Construction and Built Environment Diploma (14 19) Functional Skills English and Maths, or Key Skills Application of Number and Communication Foundation Learning Tier (a craft occupation at Level 1) A Levels and GCSEs 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) military career in the Royal Engineers 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.

10 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.
