Y Prentis advisory panel
Y Prentis has an Advisory Panel which is comprised of representatives from South East Wales Construction Companies. The aims of the Advisory Panel is to advise the Y Prentis Board members to ensure that the Apprenticeship Schemes are fit for purpose and meet the training requirements and needs of the construction industry. Specifically this includes:
• Steering ‘Y Prentis’ in coordinating training opportunities across a variety of construction companies in South East Wales;
• Allowing participating apprentices to gain a wide range of experience adding to their ability to gain sector specific qualifications and employment in the construction industry;
• Assist in influencing Welsh Government and training providers in prioritising training provision and directing funding appropriately in line with industry requirements; and
• Assist in bringing together expertise to meet the training requirements of the construction industry and needs of the trainees in this sector.
The Panel Members pay a fee to part of Y Prentis which pays towards the personal toolkit that Y Prentis apprentices need when they work on construction sites and other items such as additional training needs and personal protective equipment.
The Panel currently has approximately 12 members and is chaired by James Player.
