Agenda item

The committee received a report on the new Operating Model to deliver the Council’s Apprenticeship Scheme through ‘The Slough Academy’.  The report also highlighted the key drivers behind the Academyl and illustrated the benefits for the workforce and Slough’s residents.

Members welcomed the Slough Academy and the enhancement it would bring to the current Apprenticeship Scheme and support to future workforce development initiatives.  In response to questions, members were advised that the current service would be decommissioned and the Council would be looking for an external provider.  Existing staff would be able to apply for new roles that would be available. 

The Committee  noted the report and requested a progress report to the next meeting.
