Functional Skills Delivery Programme on behalf of Brunel University London

Brunel University London has a proud tradition and distinguished reputation for being innovative, agile and able to work effectively with business partners. Today, Brunel works with over 1,700 companies, regionally, nationally and internationally. By building upon and enhancing our strong links with industry, we are creating an innovative higher and degree apprenticeship offer across each of our three Colleges. From training the next generation of police officers tackling crime on London streets, to training hundreds of new NHS staff to build workforce capacity and capability across West London, we are committed to building higher technical and vocational skills across our region. To help us achieve our apprenticeship ambitions, we are looking to appoint high quality delivery partner to support us in this delivery. Whilst a large proportion of higher and degree apprentices already hold qualifications in English and Mathematics, this is not always the case and can result in a barrier to entry. To ensure we can offer opportunity to all, it has been identified that we have demand amongst potential apprentices to undertake Level 2 English and maths functional skills provision. During the admissions process, apprentices who do not already hold an English and maths qualification at Level 2 will be identified and learners will be automatically enrolled with the approved delivery partner. The delivery partner will then contact the apprentice and employer to instigate end-end delivery.
