2022 Newsletter 03/03

We have recently updated standard specifications to three of our most popular EPA’s in Manufacturing, Food & Drink and Retail. We also wanted to bring to your attention to the 2022 Top 100 Apprenticeship Employer rankings, entries of which opened last month. This celebrates England’s outstanding apprenticeship employers and helps future apprentices, parents and careers advisers to identify apprenticeship opportunities at the country’s leading employers.
We have recently updated our Lean Manufacturing Operative (LMO), Baker and Retail Manager documentation. You can find the latest updates on our website and online learning portal Creatio. Visit the EPA section of the oawards website below and follow us on Linkedin to stay up to date with all developments.
