Description

Expressions of interest are sought to design and deliver qualitative research with end users and key stakeholders involved in the delivery of the Government Traineeships programme.

The primary aim of the research is to contribute to the process evaluation of the recent expansion of the Traineeships programme, which includes several flexibilities that were introduced as part of the Government's 'Plan For Jobs', in response to Covid-19.

We anticipate data collection from a range of stakeholders including employers, providers and trainees to ensure that a good mix of perspectives and experiences are explored.

Bidding organisations should note that we would like this study to generate some usable findings by the week commencing 5th July 2021, although final reporting can go beyond that deadline
