Below we publish our key dates and deadlines for the remainder of 2024.
This covers dates for both the Engineering Apprenticeships: Employer Accreditation cohort timelines and member event activity within the Engineering Apprenticeships: Best Practice Programme.
Key dates for companies wishing to pursue accreditation for the Engineering Apprenticeships: Employer Accreditation are September 9th, the deadline for joining to be accredited as part of the October 2024 cohort of companies and 18th November, which is the deadline to join to be achieve accreditation within the January 2025 cohort of companies.
The remainder of 2024 also sees a range of insightful online best practice events taking in all things engineering early careers, such as August’s ‘Apprentice Reward & Recognition’ and September’s ‘Creating diverse talent pipelines’.
For the first time ever, we will be taking our Engineering Skills Conference national, held at Matthew Boulton College in Birmingham on 30th October 2024 between 9am and 1pm. This will see early careers insight and best practice sharing as well as networking for around 150 delegates.
Also a first, to round off the year – following member feedback we will be holding an in person best practice meetup event at Festo in Northampton, which we take a deep dive into how they run their Gold standard accredited apprenticeship scheme, enable members to hear first hand from Festo apprentices and member to member networking.
