Apprenticeship Ambassadors Network
- Apprenticeship Ambassadors Network
The Apprenticeship Ambassadors Network is an employer-led body in England. Its remit is to encourage more employers to become involved in apprenticeships in England.
The Network is the successor body to the Apprenticeship Task Force established by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Chairman is Sir Roy Gardner, Chairman of Compass Group Plc. Members include Mike Turner CBE CEO of BAE Systems and Sir John Cassels CB.
The Leitch Review has proposed that there should be 400,000 apprentices in England by 2020. At the Labour Party conference in November 2006 Alan Johnson, Secretary of State for Education and Skills announced that the introduction of “an entitlement to an apprenticeship for every suitably qualified school leaver” would be his number one priority in the comprehensive spending review.
At a meeting on 20th June 2007 at 11 Downing Street, Honorary Apprenticeships were awarded to:
Gary Rhodes OBE,
Alan Titchmarsh MBE,
Charles Worthington MBE,
Kamal Basran
Recipients will have served an apprenticeship and/or have had significant involvement in work based learning or achieved success via social enterprise or their profession. In addition they should significant status and be seen as role models particularly for young people and other employers.
