We had a great time exhibiting at the ATC Conference in Liverpool last week – thank you to everyone who took the time to come over to our stand for a chat!
We were overwhelmed by the interest in our brand new eApprentice product, which provides an end-to-end solution for managing the entire Apprenticeship Journey from the point of recruitment to EPA.
At the ATC we conducted two polls to ascertain the satisfaction levels with existing products. The results were very stark and supported the decisions we have made in the design and development of eApprentice:
POLL 1: Does your current Apprenticeship system effectively measure employer engagement with the apprenticeship journey? YES: 37% NO: 63%
POLL 2: Does your current Apprenticeship system effectively communicate Training Plans, timetables and submission deadlines to your apprentice employers? YES: 34% NO: 66%
eApprentice has been designed with these two challenges in mind: how to capture employer engagement with the apprenticeship journey, and providing a seamless solution to keeping the employer fully up to date with the journey progress.
eApprentice provides the opportunity for employers to engage with OTJ logs, Reviews, Targets and work submissions to demonstrate that they are supporting the quality of submissions and understanding how they can further support their apprentices. We provide unique context-dependent abilities if you choose to enforce employer sign-off in these areas, or only for apprentices deemed to be At Risk. Employer engagement is visible to the apprentice, as well as your tutoring staff and management through dashboards. Understanding how, when and what your employers are engaging with enables you to plan more effectively around increasing employer engagement.
Of course, employer engagement goes both ways! eApprentice provides a complete, built-in schedule of all activities planned for the duration of the apprenticeship, and these are not only always visible and current to the employer and apprentice through the User Interface, but exportable to external calendars such as Outlook, or Google. Your employers will always know when their apprentice is due in training, and when submissions are due! More than that, because eApprentice contains full and individualised learner activity, a complete Training Plan is always available to the employer and apprentice at the click of a button!
