Lifelong Learning UK Scotland has been working with a group of employer representatives and stakeholders for the past year to undertake the refresh of the current Level 3 Modern Apprenticeship in Youth Work and to discuss the potential for introducing additional MAs in Youth Work which establish a progression route for those interested in Youth Work as a career.  The group believes the case study report, which accompanies the consultation questionnaire, identifies sufficient support for the introduction of a Level 2 MA in Youth Work in line with government policy.  (Copies of the case study report are available on request).

Lifelong Learning UK is seeking the views of employers on whether the Modern Apprenticeship should be available at Level 2; whether there is continued need for the Modern Apprenticeship in Youth Work at Level 3 and if employers would support the introduction of one at Level 4, which is equivalent to an ordinary degree.

This employer consultation opened on Monday 28 September 2009 and will close on Monday 30 November 2009.  To find out more please contact marianhealy@lluk.org
