Apprenticeship and Training Strategy for Professional Federations

Background

Several professional federations engaged Quintet to anticipate regulatory developments and promote a shared vision for apprenticeships and vocational training.

Challenges

Sustain the momentum of apprenticeships, particularly in higher education, while proposing ways to regulate the system without compromising its effectiveness.

Design a career transition programme adapted to the energy and digital transitions.

Methodology

Analysis of Key Challenges

Assessment of the impact of recent reforms—including the 2018 reform, the CPF and Pro-A—and of structural challenges such as funding, programme governance and workforce reskilling, drawing on macroeconomic data and feedback from the field.

Collaborative Workshops

Joint development with the federations of a shared strategic vision, including practical proposals for balanced apprenticeship regulation and the creation of an effective career transition programme.

Development of Proposals

Preparation of a well-supported, data-driven and communication-ready strategic paper, incorporating a robust methodology for setting costs and recommendations for optimising public expenditure.

Deliverables

A strategic paper setting out a comprehensive and shared vision for apprenticeships and training, including quantified proposals for balanced regulation and an innovative career transition programme.
Scenarios for the future development of the system, supported by an analysis of their economic and social impacts, to help persuade public decision-makers.
An action plan aligned with the political timetable, enabling the federations to influence the debate and mobilise their partners.
Communication support to promote the shared vision and proposals among institutions and key stakeholders.
