Apprenticeships

OTSA is working with Best Practice Network to offer a range of apprenticeship professional development opportunities, funded by the Apprenticeship Levy. 

All Apprenticeship ProgrammesApprenticeships provide an excellent way for schools to either recruit fresh talent or enhance the skills of their current staff. A diverse range of apprenticeships are available ranging from level 2 (GCSE) to level 6/7 (degree and postgraduate degree level). Apprentices are employed by the school, acquiring on-the-job training that familiarises them with the school environment. Additionally they complete off-the-job training to learn new knowledge, skills and behaviours for their role. Apprenticeships can be used to develop talent as part of a People and Talent Strategy and also for Continued Professional  Development.
