In April, the national Estates & Facilities team at NHS England launched the Apprenticeship Challenge to increase the number of apprenticeships starts in E&F from 450 to 1,000 per year.
Six months into the challenge, and already 320 people have started new estates and facilities-specific apprenticeships. Thanks to the efforts and support of Trusts around the country this is over 70% of what we would normally get in a whole year, so a very promising start.
There are a range of resources available to support you to increase the number of apprenticeships starts in your organisation via the HASO (Healthcare Apprentice Standards Online) website.
