Employing an apprentice can provide commercial organisations with competent, skilled staff that have the knowledge and confidence to help them to grow. In return, apprentices are provided with a career path to move into higher level jobs and qualifications, enabling businesses to grow their own modern procurement managers.
Trailblazer Apprenticeships for procurement
New Trailblazer Apprenticeships for procurement and supply are currently being developed in the UK (England) that:
- Put employers in control with new standards designed by employers for employers
- Increase the quality through a rigorous and all-encompassing assessment to demonstrate competence
- Simplify the apprenticeship system with short, easy to understand standards
- Put funding in the hands of employers so that the quality and relevance of the training will increase
Don't miss your chance to influence the procurement professionals of the future - get involved.
CIPS also provides an independent end-point assessment (EPA) service for the procurement apprenticeship standards. Find out more about our EPA services or contact our helpful team epa@cips.org.
