Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» and Asda joined forces back in 2013 and have been delivering an exciting and innovative apprenticeship programme to Asda employees across the UK. Passionate about delivering ground-breaking workforce development solutions, Asda has been involved in the apprenticeship Trailblazer groups from day one, working collaboratively with retail employers to develop the new retail apprenticeship standards.
Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»’s delivery of the Asda Retail Apprenticeship Programme supports a vibrant and contemporary approach to apprenticeships, with progression and reward at the heart of the apprenticeship programme. Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» and Asda launched the delivery of the new retail standards in 2017, with a number of apprentices now nearing their end-point assessment. Amelia Dawson (pictured below) is the first Asda apprentice to tackle the new approach to end-point assessment.
To demonstrate she has developed the required skills, knowledge and behaviours of the retailer standard, Amelia needed to pass an on-line test, 2 hour observation and 1 hour professional discussion, all conducted by an independent end-point assessor. Having undertaken a range of mock assessments with her Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» trainer, Amelia was well prepared and passed every element on her first attempt. Congratulations to Amelia and the wider team of Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» and Asda apprenticeship professionals who support the delivery of this compelling apprenticeship programme.
