Your requirements from January 2023
From January 2023, the updated provider access legislation (PAL) comes into force. The updated legislation specifies schools must provide at least six encounters with approved providers of apprenticeships and technical education for all their students:
Encounter Phases
The new legislation will become a key mechanism to further help learners understand and take-up, not just apprenticeships, but wider technical education options such as T-Levels and Higher Technical Qualifications.
The Hub is keen to support schools and providers to meet and evidence this updated requirement meaningfully as part of wider progressive careers programmes.
The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Careers Hub have been successful in a bid to deliver a Rethink Apprenticeship Project which will include remote CPD for Senior Leaders in Education on the implementation and impact of the Provider Access Legislation.
