The Institute for Apprenticeships has appointed chairs
for 15 route panels, and a panel of apprentices to advise
the board.
The route panels are made up of industry experts and are
responsible for setting the standards of knowledge,
skills and behaviours needed by employers for every
occupation in England. The chairs will lead their groups
in reviewing and recommending apprenticeship standards
and assessment plans and advising on funding levels on
behalf of the institute.
The panel of apprentices is made up of current or recent
apprentices from a wide range of occupations and
experiences from up and down the country. The panel will
decide what issues to focus on and ensure the apprentice
voice is heard within the decision making structure of
the institute.
