Before the start of an apprenticeship programme, the employer, trainee, and training provider sign an apprenticeship training plan. It is signed with the apprenticeship agreement during the apprentice induction process.
The training plan includes a list of expectations from the student, training provider, and employer, as well as supplementary programme details. It documents all partners’ commitment to completing the apprenticeship programme.
The training plan (formerly known as an apprenticeship commitment statement) is one of two contracts signed prior to the start of the apprenticeship, the other being the apprenticeship agreement.
An apprenticeship training plan (formerly known as a commitment statement) offers detailed information regarding the length and content of the programme. It also assures that all parties are committed to the apprenticeship programme and certifies the learner’s eligibility. The training plan also includes a comprehensive overview of the programme, including content and delivery. The training plan template should include the following information:
It is also crucial to remember that the training plan should be a living document, and any modifications made by the student, employer, or provider must be signed and confirmed by all parties.
Previously, the apprenticeship training plan was known as the apprenticeship commitment statement. The commitment statement also included information on total programme expenditures, and the phrasing was revised in the summer of 2022 as part of modifications to apprenticeship funding rules.
