occupational maps t levels and apprenticeships

Occupational maps outline the new structure for employers to provide recognised pathways for apprenticeships and T Levels. Each occupational map shows a pathway of technical, higher technical and professional occupations that shows a progression route available to candidates. Technical occupations typically include level 2 and 3 vocational qualifications that focus on entry-level job roles. Progression is available into higher technical training programmes at level 4 and 5 which offers a natural progression within an organisation. Level 6 and 7 professional qualifications focus on providing more advanced training for job roles that provide a clear progression pathway.

The initial list of occupational maps lie within the following sectors:

  • Agriculture, environmental and animal care
  • Business and administration
  • Care services
  • Catering and hospitality
  • Construction
  • Creative and design
  • Digital
  • Education and childcare
  • Engineering and manufacturing
  • Hair and beauty
  • Health and science
  • Legal finance and accounting
  • Protective services
  • Sales marketing and procurement
  • Transport and logistics

These maps outline a clear structure on typical pathways that a candidate can take. Within the pathways typical job roles and progression routes are outlined by high-level definitions of occupations. Within each defined occupational route, an individual will be able to specialise in a chosen field. This is done by showing competency in a specific vocational qualification. Below we will look at some of the pathways and qualification routes for each of the occupational maps listed above.

Agriculture, environmental and animal care:

The pathways included as part of this occupational map are: Agriculture, Land Management and Production Pathway and Animal Care and Management Pathway.

Agriculture, Environmental and Animal Care Occupational Map

Under Agriculture, Land Management and Production, a typical technical occupation to start your career would be to work as an Agricultural Engineering Operative or Technician. This type of occupation is covered by qualifications such as the Land Based Service Engineer at level 2 or Land Based Service Engineering Technician at level 3.

To allow for progress the higher technical occupation is an Agricultural Engineering Manager. This includes the Agricultural Diagnostic Technician qualification which looks at managing local support and supply of equipment. The professional occupation is listed as an Agricultural Engineering Professional. This focuses on managing maintenance and sales of agricultural plant and equipment.

The qualifications provided to obtain this professional recognition are: Agricultural Dealership Professional; Agricultural Depot Manager; Agricultural Engineer and Mechanisation Manager. This is just one of seven pathways outlined by this occupational map. Other professions focus on forestry, conservation, landscaping and game/pest control. Each pathway provides a clear progression route. Opportunities are available to progress your career with the same or multiple employers depending on the specialism chosen.

Business and administration occupational map:

The business and administration occupational map provides two different pathways for career progression under the new occupational maps. These are the Human Resources Pathway and Management and Administration Pathway.

apprenticeship occupational maps

As an example, the Human Resources pathway would allow you to work in an entry-level position such as an HR Administrator. The next occupational outlined would be an HR Manager with further progression to an HR professional. A typical qualification route using the qualifications would be HR Support at Level 3 to HR Consultant/Partner at Level 5 to Senior People Professional at Level 7.

The same type of progression opportunity exists for the Management and Administrator pathway. The occupations are: Administrator, Business Manager and Management Professional. Depending on what route an individual takes, they could end up with a higher level qualification such as the level 7 Senior Leaders Masters Degree.

As with the agricultural occupational map, you can see that there are clear progression routes defined by each pathway. There are clear opportunities to undertake work-based training over an extended period of time to achieve higher-level qualifications. The opportunity to earn while you learn and eliminate University costs certainly makes the Business and Administration occupational map a great opportunity for those looking for a career in this field.

Care Sevices occupational map:

At present, there is just one recognised pathway for the care services occupational map. This provides two different progression opportunities.

Care Services Occupational Map

One route would allow a candidate to start an entry-level position as an Adult Care Worker and complete a technical qualification at level 2. Alternatively, they can complete the Lead adult Care Worker qualification at level 3. The next stage would involve progressing to an Adult Care Manager. An apprentice would complete a higher technical qualification such as: Counsellor, Lead Practitioner in Adult Care at level 4 or the Leader in Adult Care at level 5.

An alternate route would be to specialise in children, young people and families. The typical career progression here is from: Children, Young People and Families Worker to a Children, Young People and Families Manager with further progression to become a Care Services Professional. A suggested pathway using the technical qualifications would be: Playworker at level 2 to Children, Young People and Families Manager at level 5 to a Play Therapist at level 7.

Catering and hospitality:

This map offers two progression pathways which are quite obvious really, the Catering Pathway and the Hospitality Pathway. Presently, there are no recognised professional occupations outlined. However, both pathways still provide a clear progression route to secure full-time professional employment.

A catering candidate could start out on one of the level 2 or 3 qualifications that focus on preparing and cooking food. Some examples of these qualifications would be level 2 Baker or Commis Chef of the Pastry and Confectionery Chef or Senior Production Chef at level 3. The progression route after this to a higher technical occupation would be to a Catering Manager who completes the Senior Culinary Chef qualification at level 4.

For the Hospitality pathway, an individual would progress from a Hospitality Team Member or Supervisor to a Hospitality Manager. The technical qualifications for entry-level positions are Hospitality Team Member at Level 2 and the Hospitality Supervisor at level 3. The higher technical qualification available here is for Hospitality Manager at level 4. This looks at activities such as events management, kitchen management and housekeeping management.

Whilst the higher qualifications are capped at level 4 for catering and hospitality at present, with the Government incentive to drive further career progression opportunities through apprenticeships and T Levels, there should be no limit on how you can progress your career within each field.

Construction occupational map:

The construction occupational map includes 3 pathways as follows: Building Service Engineering Pathway; Design, Surveying and Planning Pathway; Onsite Construction Pathway. These pathways include a vast array of different technical qualifications to provide training coverage for the listed occupations.

The Building Service Engineering Pathway three different occupational routes. These are building services, facilities management, and utilities installation and maintenance. Building services includes an occupational progression from operative/technician progressing to building services engineering technician and through to an engineering professional in this field. One example of a professional qualification is the level 6 Fire Safety Engineer certification.

Under the Design, Surveying and Planning Pathway typical individuals can progress from a technician to advanced technician then become a recognised professional. Some of the higher-level professional qualifications are: level 7 architect, level 6 chartered surveyor degree and level 6 civil engineering degree, to name a few.

The Onsite Construction Pathway covers 4 different occupations. These are: Construction Operate or Supervisor, Specialist types of construction operatives, core building and construction site workers and meal and steel operatives. Currently, the highest obtainable professional qualification across this pathway is the level 6 Construction Site Management degree.

Creative and Design occupational map:

The creative and design occupational map includes the following three pathways, craft and design; cultural heritage and visitor attractions; and media broadcast and production.

Craft and design includes fields such as graphic design, textile designer, model maker and leads to potential professional qualifications such as a fashion, furniture or interior designer. Other specialist occupational focuses are heritage craftsperson leading to a heritage specialist such as a bookbinder or glass craftsperson. The precision manufacturing occupation focuses on providing career opportunities for individuals looking to specialise as a clock or watchmaker; instrument maker or repairer or spectacle maker. Additional occupational areas are also available for those looking to pursue a work-based training opportunity as a fashion or textile professional for saddles, weaving or upholstering.

The cultural heritage and visitor attractions pathway provides opportunities for those that would like to archaeology, collections and museums. Within this pathway a number of higher-level qualifications such as librarian, curator and archaeological specialist exist.

The media broadcast and production provides a wide range of technical, higher technical and professional qualifications. Types of job roles within this sector are limitless really and many different occupational paths and progression routes exist. A number of degree apprenticeship opportunities provide opportunities to undertake professional occupations. Outside of the main pathway the opportunity to gain an entry-level qualification exists through the production arts assistant technical occupation.

Apprenticeship occupational maps summary:

More occupational maps will be added to this article as time progresses but you can see the clear progression routes and clear definition that allows candidates to specialise within their chosen field.

Data Analyst occupational brief

by
data analyst occupational brief

One important aspect of completing the level 4 data analyst apprenticeship is to properly prepare for end-point assessment. A good training provider will share key documentation with you such as the occupational standard, assessment plan and occupational brief. It is important to understand the data analyst occupational brief as this provides the detail on what is expected at EPA. To succeed on the apprenticeship, good apprentices will ensure that they meet the minimum requirements as per the occupational brief.

This is supported by the fact that the assessment plan for the data analyst apprenticeship states that:

The completed portfolio will be assessed against the requirements summarised in the standard and set out in detail in the occupational brief.

Therefore, all good apprentices will consider the full detail outlined in the data analyst occupational brief. The occupational brief described each of the competencies in full detail and gives examples of the types of work that should be included in a portfolio. Using the competency on: Collect and compile data from different sources as an example, the occupational brief will outline the minimum requirement as follows:

Compiling data in preparation for analyses is a core part of data analysis and can involve manually compiling data from multiple sources including: databases, spreadsheets, reports

It’s this type of detail outlined in the data analyst occupational brief that an independent assessor will be looking to see in the portfolio, synoptic project and professional discussion. Our overview of the level 4 data analyst apprenticeship provides detail of the core competencies but the full detail of the occupational brief needs to be included when referencing the core competencies. The occupational brief outlines what needs to be covered for the what to achieve one of the higher grades. In addition to this, it includes the scope of what is required for the how and with whom to work towards one of the higher grades.

Below we have shared the occupational brief to download. Understanding this in relation to the competencies and the what, how and with whom is essential. Only focusing on the occupational standard would be a mistake as the assessment plan clearly outlines the need to consider the occupational brief.

Level 4 Data Analyst Apprenticeship

data analyst apprenticeship

Does gathering, organising and analysing data to help businesses operate efficiently sound good to you? If so, read on to find out how the level 4 data analyst apprenticeship could help start a new career. Alternatively, you could change roles within your current organisation and complete the apprenticeship training.

Jobs and entry criteria for the level 4 data analyst apprenticeship

The data analyst apprenticeship provides opportunities for an apprentice to learn the skills required to perform typical data roles. These include jobs such as: Data Modeller, Data Architect or Data Manager. Data Manager salaries in the UK average at £38k proving that this can be a lucrative career choice. The data analyst apprenticeship provides an excellent opportunity for starting on a pathway that offers excellent career progression opportunities. A salary of £150k is achievable as a Data Modeller and many job opportunities are advertised in this range. It’s not all about money though and data is one of the big career growth areas. You can future proof your career by using the level 4 data analyst apprenticeship as a starting point. You may even be able to use data in the future to identify further progression opportunities!

If this all sounds too good to be true, it’s not! Although normally set by employers, the entry requirements for the data analyst apprenticeship are typically 5 or more GCSEs. Alternatively, a level 3 college course or apprenticeship or maybe even less than this. An employer may hire you regardless of your background if you are the right fit for their organisation. This gives everyone the chance to succeed on this apprenticeship! If you haven’t got up to date English and Maths certificates, you will get the opportunity to complete these if needed.

Key responsibilities of a data analyst apprentice

The primary role of a Data Analyst is to collect, organise and study data to provide business insight. Data analysts are typically involved with managing, cleansing, abstracting and aggregating data, and conducting a range of analytical studies on that data. They work across a variety of projects, providing technical data solutions to a range of stakeholders and customers. Data Analysts document and report the results of data analysis activities making recommendations to improve business performance. As an analyst you will have a good understanding of data structures, database systems and procedures. In addition to this, you will understand how to use a range of analytical tools to undertake different types of analysis.

Level 4 Data Analyst Apprenticeship

Level 4 Data Analyst Core Competencies

As part of your job role, you will carry out duties that will satisfy a number of competencies. Some examples are:

  • identifying and collecting data from internal and external systems
  • using organisational data/information security standards and procedures when managing data
  • use database queries to extract data from multiple tables
  • perform statistical analyses
  • use techniques such as: data mining, modelling and time-series forecasting to predict trends and patterns
  • create performance dashboards and reports where needed
  • perform data cleansing and quality checking
  • use tools and techniques to summarise, present and visualise data and create reports for stakeholders

The occupational standard, assessment plan and occupational brief for the data analyst apprenticeship help you understand these and other competencies in more detail. These three documents are key to understanding what you should to do to prepare for end-point assessment.

Data analyst knowledge modules and vendor exams

As a data analyst you will need to equip yourself with the knowledge of how to manage data in a secure and professional manner. The knowledge modules and vendor exams will help you understand the following:

  • data protection legislation
  • the data life cycle
  • types of data, i.e. public or open data, research data or administrative data
  • structured and unstructured data and the difference between both
  • data structures and database systems and how to implement and maintain these
  • the domain that data is utilised in and the importance of understanding this
  • data quality issues and how to manage these
  • defining customer requirements when analysing data
  • tools and processes used for data integration
  • routine data analysis tasks and the what’s involved in carrying these out
  • using and applying industry-standard tools/methods for data analysis activities

To demonstrate that you understand the knowledge covered on the level 4 data analyst apprenticeship, you will need to complete knowledge or vendor exams. The approved knowledge exams outlined in the standard are Data Analysis Tools and Data Analysis Concepts. An apprentice must complete both these exams or the Data Analysis Tools exams can be replaced by the Dell EMC Data Science Associate vendor qualification. Update as of 25th of March, the Dell EMC is no longer a required vendor certification. The IFA updated the standard on 19/03/2020 to reflect this.

Conclusion

As you can see, the level 4 data analyst is an excellent starting point for anyone looking to pursue a career in data. The core skills covered in the apprenticeship will open up a wide range of job opportunities. In addition, you will earn while you learn and excellent progression opportunities exist to advance your career. Some examples are the Level 7 Artificial intelligence (AI) data specialist apprenticeship or the Level 6 Data scientist (integrated degree) apprenticeship. Employers are keen to use apprenticeship to shape how their employees learn and progress. The type of job roles that will open up over the coming years could be endless for anyone that commits their future to a career in data.

Apprenticeship Tips to help you succeed

by

In order to get the most out of an apprenticeship, it’s important to take every opportunity available to you. Following some of the apprenticeship tips below will make sure that you understand what is expected of you and help you to succeed in your job role.

Understand the standard:

The most important element of making sure that you get the most out of your apprenticeship is to understand what you are being assessed against. Make sure that you download the occupational standard, assessment plan and occupational brief (if this exists). We would advise you to print these out to discuss with your employer and/or training provider so that you fully understand what is expected within your job role and for end-point assessment.

Plan carefully with your employer:

This is probably the most important aspect of being successful in your apprenticeship. Within your job role, you need to make sure that you can demonstrate the competencies within real-world work tasks. It’s essential that both you and your employer understand what is expected so that you can ensure full coverage against the totality of the standard. This very much links back to understanding the standard but more importantly it means that your job role needs to provide the opportunity to do this. Early planning to make sure that you get the opportunity to work on projects that allow you to achieve coverage over the duration of the apprenticeship is essential. Outline a plan with your employer and training provider to make sure that you plan to include every element of the standard and have regular review meetings to make sure goals are met. It’s important that evidence is assessed throughout to make sure that each element is covered in full across all of your work.

Understand how end-point assessment works:

Another top tip for apprentices and this again links back to understanding the standard is making sure that you know what is required at EPA. The apprenticeship assessment plan will outline this and it’s important to prepare in relation to this. One absolutely essential element of this is to understand how the end-point assessment awarding organisation work and what they will expect to see at EPA. This cannot be stressed enough and all good employers and apprenticeship training providers will consider this as early as possible in the apprenticeship so that you are fully prepared. Some EPAOs work in slightly different ways to others and you need to gather your evidence in line with their expectations to get the best result on your apprenticeship.

Create outstanding evidence that is easy to assess:

Linking back to the previous point and understanding how end-point assessment works, another top tip for apprentices is to make sure that your evidence is easy to assess! A well-structured portfolio or projects with clear reference to the skills, attitudes and behaviours outlined in the standard will make the assessor’s job easier. What you need to understand here is that assessors want to see clear and concise evidence that maps against exactly what you are being assessed on. Using video demonstrations of your very best practical evidence will show that you can function in the workplace in accordance with the skills, attitudes and behaviours of the standard. At this point, you will see that everything is very much linking back to our first apprentice tip which is to understand the standard. Everything revolves around knowing what you are being assessed against and being as concise as possible in presenting evidence to show that you are competent against the expectations of the standard.

Enjoy the experience and take opportunities to learn:

Always remember that an apprenticeship is on the job training and not a college course. You should take pride in putting your evidence together and enjoy the experience. Putting evidence together should be a natural part of your job role if you have carefully planned exactly what you are going to cover within your job role. Be creative about presenting your evidence in a clear and concise manner. Another thing to consider is to take as many opportunities as you can to learn new skills that will contribute towards your development and future career. Evidence of continuous professional development in relation to general work skills and your sector provide further opportunities to show that you are a competent and professional employee. By taking as many opportunities as possible, you will show a willingness and drive to your employer and increase your chances of gaining full-time employment at the end of your apprenticeship. Additionally, this may provide you with the opportunity to build a network of contacts that you would not normally meet when doing your day to day role.

Start any knowledge or vendor exams early:

If there are any vendor exams, functional skills or additional knowledge elements that need to be completed as part of your apprenticeship, do not leave these until the last minute. Make sure that you complete any training and exams as early as possible in the programme as some of the things that you learn may help you within your job role. Completing these as early as possible also ensures that you are not waiting for results towards the expected end date of your apprenticeship as this may cause a delay when completing end-point assessment.

General tips for making a good impression with your employer and customers:

  • Ask for help: The apprenticeship standards have been designed by the industry for the industry that you work in. With this in mind, you will have a wealth of experience within your organisation that can help you with something that you do not understand.
  • Learn from others: Very much linked to the previous point, if you see someone who is excelling within your workplace at a specific part of your job role, try to learn from them. Look around at colleagues who are excellent in different areas and ask them to show you what works best so that you pick up a wide range of skills.
  • Be professional: Get the basic right. An apprenticeship is not a course that you take any more. It’s an employment opportunity to help you build a successful future if you act in a competent and professional manner. Turn up on time, be polite, be professional, be positive, show a willingness to learn and take up opportunities that are presented to you. These are just some key points and remember, every person that you deal with throughout the course of your apprenticeship could be a potential client or future employer. Try to make a good impression at all times.
  • Be confident: When you understand the standard and plan with your employer and/or training provider to make sure that you will be ready for EPA, be confident about how you go about your job role. If you know what you are being assessed against, the EPA process should be easy and it’s an opportunity to show off what you learned and that you are a proficient and professional person that can operate effectively within the standard outlining your industry sector. You get out what you put into an apprenticeship and if you understand what is expected and have done the hard work, be confident in your ability to excel within the workplace and when completing end-point assessment.
  • Understand your industry: This links back to a number of the previous points, it’s important to understand your industry so that you show evidence against any expected skills, attitudes or behaviours in relation to the industry. Try to focus on showing that you are competent within the specific sector of your apprenticeship when you present evidence rather than showing that you have general work skills. Obviously, you do need to develop good general working skills but understanding your industry and always considering how to work best within the legal and ethical requirements of this industry will make you stand out as a specialist.
  • Plan your future: An apprenticeship is an opportunity to gain full-time employment and you should consider this at all time. Be open and honest with your employer if you would like to gain full-time employment at the end of the apprenticeship and actively discuss where you can see yourself progressing within the organisation when you can. The key point here is to ensure that you do not get to the end of your apprenticeship and find out that there is no job for you. Ensure you are well prepared to progress within your organisation or elsewhere depending on your personal preference and opportunities. If you are not happy within your current organisation and want to plan a future beyond this after completing your apprentice, make sure that you are ready for this, which takes is on to our next point.
  • Build networks: As previously mentioned, everyone that you deal with throughout your apprenticeship could be a potential employer or client. Although the key aim of an apprenticeship is to secure full-time employment when completed, this is not always the case. Don’t be afraid to create a network of contacts that may be able to help you in the future if things do not work out with your current employer.

Conclusion:

The apprenticeship tips outlined above should help you maintain a focus throughout your apprenticeship. A lot of things mentioned relate to demonstrating professionalism and a willingness to succeed. Going through each of the points though, one thing stands oout and this is understanding the standard. The number one apprentice tip that we could give you is definitely to make sure that you understand what is included in the apprenticeship and how this will be assessed. You are supported by your employer and/or a training organisation but to make sure you get the best out of your apprenticeship, you should take ownership of it and make sure that you understand exactly what is expected.

Skills gained on Digital Marketer Apprenticeship

by

Thinking of doing a digital marketing apprenticeship and want to know what kind of skills you will gain? Look no further.

As a digital marketer apprentice, you will gain a wide range of skills that are transferable to other sectors along with specialist digital marketing skills. By hiring you as a digital marketing apprentice, your employer will commit to allowing you to run a number of digital marketing campaigns. This will include different types of campaigns over a variety of platforms including social media. You will develop written communication skills for general planning and collaboration as well as for engaging targeted audiences through digital campaigns.

In addition to running campaigns, you will get to look at campaign performance data and perform analysis to spot customer trends and behaviour. By using a number of digital tools and platforms to look at campaigns, you will understand how to optimise current and future campaigns by seeing what has and has not worked well.

Customer service and relationships should form an important part of any digital marketing role. Employers that hire an apprentice have committed to allowing them to answer customer enquiries over at least three digital platforms. Social media must be used to answer customer enquiries and both internal and external customers should be considered. Digital marketer apprentices are also encouraged to develop an array of problem-solving techniques that can be used to deal with customer and investigate campaign success.

A level 3 digital marketer apprentice must cover at least two of the specialist areas in digital marketing, which are: search marketing, SEO, PPC, web analytics & metrics, mobile apps or email marketing. When learning about these specialist areas, you will gain the skills needed to optimise campaigns using the data and lessons learned. These specialist areas are also part of the knowledge element of the apprenticeship. With this in mind, all good training providers and employers will make sure that you fully understand them and that you are ready for end-point assessment.

A digital marketer apprentice will need to gain exposure to using a wide range of industry standard marketing platforms such as Google Analytics, Google Trends, Bing Ads, Mailchimp, WordPress, Canva, Pocket, Unsplash, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Tweetdeck and many more. You will also need to look at using business tools such as Excel or customer relationship management systems to analyse data in more detail. Alongside this, general office communication tools will be used to deal with internal and external stakeholders.

As you can see the digital marketer apprenticeship will give you an excellent grounding in the skills and tools need to be a well rounded digital marketer and valuable employee. Whilst the apprenticeship itself does include a wide range of digital marketing skills, many apprentices will move towards becoming a specialist in a particular area of digital marketing after they have mastered the basics. This is an excellent apprenticeship and there is the opportunity to progress and gain a degree in the same field by doing the Digital Marketer Integrated Degree after completing the level 3 apprenticeship. Interested? Look for apprenticeship jobs in digital marketing through the government website or trusted training providers and employers. Best of luck with starting your career in digital marketing!
