Employer Engagement Group
The Employer Engagement Group (EEG) aims to strengthen employer input to the strategic direction of apprenticeships and work-based learning pathways, to ensure the apprenticeship system meets the needs of industry.
It works closely with the other SAAB groups, the Scottish Government and its agencies, qualification bodies, trade unions, training and learning providers, membership and industry groups to ensure the apprenticeship system meets the needs of industry.
The EEG’s main responsibilities are:
-
speak on behalf of apprentice employers across Scotland, bringing the essential employer voice, business insight and evidence to the strategic direction of apprenticeship policy
-
provide employer perspective and sectoral insight for the continuous improvement of products, services and campaigns impacting apprenticeships.
-
provide direction through check and challenge processes to ensure effective prioritisation of apprenticeship delivery, aligned to employer demand
-
act as influencers and leaders of change among other employers to improve participation and agility within the apprenticeship system and its development processes
-
act as ambassadors for Scottish Apprenticeships with other businesses, young people and influencers.
