3 project elements• Employer briefings and toolkit

(including case study videos)• Trainee work placement projects• Mentoring training for employers

West Berkshire Training Consortium TSSP – emerging findings for AELP conference

Emerging findings – employer briefings and briefing toolkit

• Choose your audience carefully• General Traineeships information is not enough by itself to get

people out of the workplace • Link a Traineeship briefing to a related event• Sector specific approaches have worked better on a local basis• Apprenticeships well understood, traditional work experience

understood, Traineeships need more explaining on an individual basis – an event briefing is not enough to engage an employer

• QUESTION – what would you like included in an employer briefing toolkit?

Emerging findings – employer briefings and briefing toolkit

Emerging findings – work placement projects

• Lots of commercially available ‘work experience diaries’• Some sector specific guides to work experience(eg skills for

as a traineeship work placement record• Nothing found specifically and appropriately tailored to

Traineeship placements that can be easily adapted to different models/lengths of placement

• WBTC producing 6 sector based templates with employer input – available end July
