<p>The Learning and Development team offer apprentices support with all their training
throughout their apprenticeships, including matching the apprentices with a team buddy
who can support them during their apprenticeship. We look to match internal training
available to modules of their apprenticeship, so they can take part in additional
sessions to enrich the apprenticeship learning. We have also run mock interviews to
prepare them for their next career steps.</p><p>All apprentices are offered career
coaching with one of the House’s coaches. Part of their coaching includes helping
them to prepare for applying for jobs. They are also offered the opportunity to participate
in mock interviews, and ‘how to get that job’ training sessions.</p><p>In 2018, The
House ran a joint tender with the House of Lords and Parliamentary Digital Service
to procure new apprenticeship training providers. These appointed providers were tested
extensively to ensure their provision was of the highest quality. We monitor our providers
and provide regular feedback informally as well as at formal quarterly feedback meetings.
We take the quality of the training for apprenticeship very seriously and our appointed
providers are very experienced in apprenticeship delivery, prior to the introduction
of the Levy and since then.</p><p>Since the appointment of new training providers
in September 2018, the House of Commons has expanded its offering of two apprenticeship
courses to fourteen, with further plans to extend the offering across more levels
and specialisms over the course of 2019.</p>
