The Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education has published the Engineering and Manufacturing Route Review Report. The report follows an employer-led review of training requirements for the engineering and manufacturing sector. The IfATE has said, “In addition to preparing the way for large numbers of apprenticeships to be brought up to date, the review report has recommended eight to be decommissioned due to insufficient demand or changing training requirements”. The IfATE’s panel of employer experts has revised the engineering and manufacturing occupational map. The map covers three pathways for progression from entry to higher levels covering: engineering, design and development; maintenance, installation and repair; and engineering, manufacturing process, and control.
