We need your support

We need your support for the approval of the updated Furniture Making Apprenticeship Standard.

In 2013 the Government announced big reforms to the way apprenticeships are to be designed and implemented in England.  New standard-based apprenticeships will replace current frameworks as part of the Government’s employer driven Trailblazer Strategy.

A group of Furniture employers working on behalf of the sector have been leading this redesign. In this once in a generation opportunity we are calling for the Furniture sector and key stakeholders to get involved and to have their say on the essential knowledge, skills and behaviours that Apprentices should display on completion of their Apprenticeship.  We have now developed the following standards (standards for the other parts of the industry are to follow in the coming months):

  • Bed Making
  • Cabinet Making/Manufacturing
  • Upholstery

It is essential that we get the content right for these Standards as these will form the development programmes for Apprentices in the future.

How you can help
Your feedback will enhance the development of Standards submitted by our Trailblazers and help ensure that new apprenticeships are viable, high quality, and widely supported.

The survey seeks your views on:
•         Whether each draft Standard fully covers the skills, knowledge and behaviours needed for full competence in the relevant occupation;
•         Whether the length and skill level of each draft Standard is substantive enough for the relevant occupation;
•
