Report of the Head of Corporate Resources
Minutes:
|
The Cabinet considered the report of the Head of Corporate Resources in relation to the Council’s Corporate Apprenticeship Programme, progress to date, an overview of recruitment, procurement and the approach to these issues. The report also sets out how the Council intends to deliver the Corporate Apprenticeship Strategy and Action Plan 2019-2022 to ensure that a highly trained, ambitious and flexible workforce is maintained whilst continuing to attract and retain the very highest talent to live and work in Sefton to deliver our Vision 2030 and Core Purpose.

Decision Made: That the Cabinet:
(1) Noted the performance of Sefton’s Corporate Apprenticeship Programme; and
(2) approved the Corporate Apprenticeship Strategy and Action Plan for 2019 – 2022. |
|
|
Reasons for the Decision:
The Corporate Apprenticeship Strategy and Action Plan 2019 - 2022 is a key driver that will support and underpin the work of the Corporate Apprenticeship Team (CAT). This includes our ambition to achieve our annual apprenticeship target for Sefton Council and Schools, whilst also contributing to the Government’s wider ambition of achieving 3 million new apprenticeship starts by 2020.
Alternative Options Considered and Rejected:
The Strategy and Action Plan was not adopted as a way forward, however such an approach would lead to a lack of co-ordination and guidance in workforce planning issues.
