The programme

We are the delivery partner for the Apprenticeship Support and Knowledge programme (ASK) across the London region, working with teachers, careers advisers, parents and governors, alongside other key partners, to develop and transform how students think about apprenticeships.

The ASK programme works directly with schools and colleges to assess requirements and delivers a bespoke support package.

Our range of activities enables you to meet your statutory duties regarding the provision of impartial IAG, specifically in relation to apprenticeships and traineeships.
