Review of Level 2/3 Apprenticeships - Have your say! https://lnkd.in/ebZNv3s It’s time to review the apprenticeship standards launched in 2017 to ensure they are up to date and can meet the needs of our industries. To ensure we have the right workforce for the future, the Trailblazer Group for the Arborist, Forest Operative and Landscape/Horticulture apprenticeships is conducting a review of these level 2/3 standards. The survey is designed to be completed by anyone involved in, or interested in, the relevant apprenticeship. Please take advantage of this opportunity to contribute to this important review process. Our sector urgently needs to recruit competent operators and, while this is not a quick fix, it is designed to ensure that the standards are fit for purpose in bringing through the next generation of skilled arborists, foresters, landscapers and horticulturists, to meet the growing needs of our respective industries.
