We are pleased to report that last month’s housing event was a great success with informative and stimulating presentations from all the speakers.  The feedback received was fantastic with attendees agreeing to form a forum that will meet twice a year with the aim of looking at how the new apprenticeship frameworks can be best utilized and the ways in which resources and best practise can be shared.

The speakers provided a clear account of apprenticeships, warts and all, the framework surrounding them and the possible progression routes. Attendees were invited to share their experiences and it was great to hear that those organisations who had already taken apprentices on had found the experience to be a very positive one.

Opps would like to thank (in order of appearance) Asset Skills, the Chartered Institute of Housing, Middlesex University and Barbara Seymour and Mel Scott of Opps for their help in making the event possible.

Watch this space for further events.

Opps is excited to be hosting an event on the 20^th of April to promote apprenticeships within the housing sector, with the aim of raising awareness of apprenticeships and their benefits to employers.

Guest speakers from the Chartered Institute of Housing, Asset Skills (the sector skills council for the housing sector) and Middlesex University will be sharing their perspectives on apprenticeships and on progression routes to higher qualifications.
