Investors in People are working with the Department for Education to design and create a quality mark for apprenticeship employers. The quality mark will act as a stamp of approval for employers who show excellence in recruiting, developing and supporting apprentices.

There is an opportunity to shape and contribute to what the framework should contain via an online survey which will be live until May 31^st. We would like you to be aware of the survey so DfE can gather a range of views to ensure that the quality mark covers the right areas of quality and is accessible to employers of different sizes and sectors.

There are also 5 co-creation workshops which will help to expand the content of the framework in relation to the different levels. These workshops will take place between 11am and 3pm in:

• York – Tuesday 4^th June
• Birmingham – Wednesday 5^th June
• London – Thursday 6^th June
• Belfast – Tuesday 11^th June
• Edinburgh – Thursday 13^th June

If you wish to be involved in the co-creation workshops, you can register here.

The consultation is being carried out on behalf of Investors in People by the agency DJS Research. They will select a range of stakeholders to participate in the co-creation workshops by ensuring representation from different industry sectors, organisational size and roles. They will contact all of those registering their details and will provide details of the central locations to those who are attending.
