in 100 Days Campaign Update The ambition
for the 100 in 100 campaigns is to challenge local
businesses to generate 100 new Apprenticeship placements within a
local area in 100 days. We are working
with training providers and partners to achieve this target. Below is
an update on the progress to date:- With 42 days
passed and nearly half way through the campaign, we have received 48 pledges
and one of these places is filled. We have
received 41 pledges and four of these places are filled. A slightly
different format with this campaign in that it will be 111 Apprentice places
in 2011. With 30 days
passed and the half way stage on 5th April, we have received 75
pledges and five of these places are filled. With 35 days
passed and the half way stage on 31st March, we have received 37 pledges and
21 of these places have been filled. With 34 days
passed and the half way stage on 1st April, we have received 70
pledges and 26 of these places have been filled. Thank you to
all the providers and stakeholders that are supporting these campaigns. |

Apprenticeship Vacancies |

Following the
launches of all the 100 campaigns across the region, we need to be able to
recognise on Apprenticeship vacancies what vacancies correspond to which
campaigns. If you are
involved in any of the campaigns, please use the following coding at the
beginning of the vacancy title: Southampton –
S100 Reverting a vacancy status - Correct
recording of successful offline applicants When we first
set up Apprenticeship vacancies, some providers were unsure how to correctly
record ‘offline filled’ vacancies. That is when a candidate applies for
the role outside of the Apprenticeship vacancies system. We believe
this has affected our overall success rates for successful recruitment on
Apprenticeship vacancies. This is a common mistake which can now be
easily rectified. We now have
the facility to amend the status of a vacancy from ‘completed’ to
‘closed’. If you are aware of a vacancy that has been ‘completed’
incorrectly you can request that the vacancy is amended to ‘closed
status’. This will enable you to record the correct outcome and
therefore increase your overall success rates as a provider and also our
success rates as a region. To do this,
please send the vacancy number(s) and if possible either the name of the
Candidate who was successful or the number of offline successful candidates
to se-avsupport@apprenticeships.gov.uk.
We will ask for these vacancies to be reverted to closed so that you
can amend them. |
