Description

Expressions of interest are sought to design and deliver the 2021 wave of the Department for Education (DfE) Apprenticeship Evaluation Surveys (AEvS), comprising separate learner and employer surveys.

The surveys will provide robust statistical evidence on:
• Levels of engagement with the apprenticeships programme and the impact of recent reforms on apprentice employers
• The characteristics of current and recently completed apprentices, their experiences and the impact of apprenticeships on learners
• Individuals who have withdrawn from their apprenticeship (for the first time); and
• The impact of COVID-19 disruption on apprentices.
We are seeking a contractor to design and deliver the two 2021 surveys (employer and learner). Consortium bids that combine experience and expertise in different elements and requirements of the work are welcomed.

Please note the deadline for receipt of EOIs is 17:00 on Thursday 5th November 2020
