Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

TDC Career Track has been invited to work alongside ESNEFT, Colchester Institute and Essex County Council on the Tendring 100 project to support the recruitment and development of 100 apprentices based in Tendring.
The project will provide Career Track with access to new public sector employer engagement activities which in turn could generate new apprenticeship opportunities.
Tendring 100 is a two year project and Career Track will be able to access up to 20 new public sector opportunities over this period.
This will be managed as a ‘business as usual’ activity with no impact on the department or their day to day activities. There will be no additional strain on service. The additional apprentice numbers will provide a boost to the income of Career Track over the period of the programme.
Involvement in this project supports the current Career Track function in the organisation enabling an opportunity to increase apprentice numbers and engage in further partnership working.
The reason for the decision:
- To engage with Tendring employers and residents to sustain DfE agreement to provide apprenticeships and generate additional income.
- To increase apprenticeship numbers.
- To enhance partnership working

Decision:

To engage in the Tendring 100 Apprenticeship project alongside ESNEFT, Colchester Institute and Essex County Council to support the recruitment and development of apprentices based in Tendring.

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - There are no other projects focussing on the Tendring District.
Option 2 - There is an option to not engage in this project which will risk a reduction in apprentice numbers and income and impact partnership working.
