Advanced Apprenticeship Graduation Ceremony 2010 Programme

Welcome to the 2010 Advanced Apprenticeship Graduation Ceremony
The Consortium for Learning (CfL)
was created in May 2002, to provide
representation and support to the local
network of Work Based Learning (WBL)
Providers, with the aim of raising the
profi le and increasing participation in WBL,
including Apprenticeships.
In 2008 CfL became a registered charity and
adopted the following charitable objectives:
• Improving access to and increasing
participation in Work Based Learning
opportunities for young people
to encourage engagement and
participation in learning post-16;
• Raising the profi le of Work Based
Learning, Apprenticeships and such
other vocational training with colleges,
schools and other educational
institutions to increase awareness;
• Acting as a representative and resource
for Work Based Learning providers in
the Humber sub-region, promoting good
practice and continually improve the
quality of WBL provision.
There are a wide range of key activities
that CfL takes forward in relation to these
objectives, which includes services CfL
offers to its members and additional
activities supporting the promotion of
Apprenticeships. This includes delivering
Apprenticeship Information and Advice
Workshops, hour-long interactive lessons
to local secondary schools, which provide
pupils with a full introduction to what
Apprenticeships can offer.
One of the achievements that CfL
is extremely proud is the Advanced
Apprenticeship Graduation Ceremony.
Now in its fi fth year, this high profi le
graduation ceremony celebrates and
recognises the achievement of all Advanced
Apprentices across the Humber sub-region
(comprising the East Riding of Yorkshire,
Hull, North East Lincolnshire and North
Lincolnshire).
I am delighted to welcome you to our fi fth
Advanced Apprenticeship Graduation
Ceremony.
Attendance at this extremely successful
ceremony has increased from 88 Advanced
Apprentices in the fi rst year to over 150 in
2010. The attending Advanced Apprentices
