Management

Management Apprenticeship

This Apprenticeship can be applied across a broad range of sectors and job roles. Good managers and team leaders are essential to the success of any business, so the skills gained on this Apprenticeship are transferable and valuable.

Learning will be tailored to your industry, but it’s likely you’ll be responsible for the delivery of a service, or how other people carry out their work. You could be working as a shift leader, charge hand, section leader, team leader, floor manager, trainee manager, deputy manager, or supervisor.

On the Advanced Apprenticeship in Management, you’ll be able to understand the theories of management, and how to source, understand, present and explain work related figures and calculations.

Depending on the focus of your job, you might learn other skills like how to allocate and check other people’s work; plan and implement change; manage a project or budget; encourage innovation; carry out operational plans; recruit staff; or develop customer service skills.

The Management Advanced Apprenticeship is aimed at supervisors and first line managers, and is intended for those people who need to maintain and develop the effectiveness and efficiency of the operations for which they are responsible by means of:

• Motivating and developing the people who work in the team or department
• Fostering effective communication
• Developing a sense of team/corporate identity

There are no formal entry requirements for this framework. Apprentices will have a variety of experience and will be working in a variety of sectors, although the majority will be over 19. The deciding factor in a decision to start an apprentice on the framework must be a favourable judgment of the ability to achieve the outcomes of the programme, and they must be in a job role that supports the completion of all aspects of the framework. This can be achieved through interview and initial assessment/testing. Apprentices should provide evidence of a strong interest in a career in management and have the ability to work effectively with individuals and groups.

The skills and attributes which are relevant to the occupations and sector are:

• Motivation to succeed within the industry/sector
• Willingness to learn and apply that learning in the workplace
• Ability to demonstrate that they have the potential to complete the qualifications which are part of the Apprenticeship framework being undertaken
• Willingness to communicate effectively with a range of people
• Being numerate and literate
• Confidence and ability to communicate at all levels
