This project is developing a guide for training providers to support them in the creation and management of more expansive apprenticeship programmes. The guide will be based on development of the \u2018expansive-restrictive continuum\u2019. This provides a new framework for the providers of apprenticeship to assess and monitor the extent to which their programmes are more or less expansive and to find ways to be less restrictive. The framework is also useful to employers as it allows them to think through how offering a good quality apprenticeship can contribute to their wider workforce and business development strategies. The framework identifies features of the learning environment (workplace and off-the-job sites) which influence the extent to which the workplace as a whole creates opportunities for, or barriers to, learning.<\/p>\n
