We are passionate about apprenticeships and the benefits they bring individuals, employers, society and the economy. In collaboration with our member organisations, we act as voice for championing apprenticeships in science and influencing apprenticeship policy.
In the past we have been actively involved in Life Science and Industrial Science Trailblazer groups including:
Laboratory Technician (leads to RSciTech)
Laboratory Scientist (leads to RSci)
Science Manufacturing Technician (leads to RSciTech/EngTech)
Knowing the importance and value of professional registration, the government has mandated that new apprenticeship standards must lead to professional registration where it exists. As a result we have been paramount in ensuring the new standards lead to registration as indicated above.
We are currently involved in a revision of:
- Level 3 Education Technician (HE assistant technician and simulation-based technician)
- Level 6 Clinical Trials Specialist
And the development of a new Level 6 Professional Scientist apprenticeship.
If you are looking to gain hands on professional experience, develop your own skill set while earning a salary then I’d highly recommend considering an apprenticeship.”
