Improving Operational Performance Apprenticeship

UPDATED 20170109 08:52:46

Engineering/manufacturing operators working as process, plant and machine operatives (Level 2 roles) account for 14% of total sector employment (approximately 167,000 people) in England and Wales. 6% of employers felt they had skills gaps in their operator workforce. These were put down to lack of experience, failure to train and develop staff, lack of motivation, and the inability of the workforce to keep up with change. Within the sector itself, technical, practical and job-specific skills were highlighted as the main skills gaps, with problem solving, team working and general communication skills being secondary. The age profile of the current workforce presents a recruitment challenge as 11% of operators are aged 60 plus and 10% are aged under 24 years old. 9% of engineering/manufacturing employers have staff undertaking Apprenticeships. It is anticipated that there will be a net requirement for 4,700 operators (660 per annum) over the period 2010-2016 just to cover retirements. The B-IT2 NVQ is delivered by high-achieving lean process practitioners and is a down-to-earth, hands-on programme designed for operators in companies that have lean systems in place but are looking to engage the wider workforce in continuous improvement activities. It teaches them how to identify and eliminate waste, create flow and improve quality leading to greater efficiency and increased profitability. This programme will be essential in ensuring that UK companies can compete against strong international competition.
