All apprenticeships, Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs), and T Levels are based on ‘occupations’ that are recognised by employers. An occupation is skilled employment which has similar requirements across employers and workplaces and which meet IfATE’s criteria. IfATE groups occupations together that have related knowledge, skill requirements and behaviours into 15 ‘routes’, making it easier to see how they connect to one another. Occupational maps are a way of showing the relationships that exist between education, qualifications, apprenticeships and occupations in England. IfATE calls them maps because they help people to find their way through the careers and training landscape more easily. Click here for more.
