IOSH Joins Advisory Group for Apprenticeships and Skills Training

IOSH has emphasized its position at the forefront of skills development by joining the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education’s (IfATE’s) Directory of Professional and Employer-led Bodies (‘Employer Directory’).

With over 100 professional and employer-led organizations as members, the Employer Directory offers industry-focused guidance to regulators Ofqual and the Office for Students on quality assurance of apprenticeship end-point assessment. Members also advise on apprenticeships, T Levels, wider technical qualifications, and occupational maps that direct employers and prospective learners on various training opportunities. IOSH Chief Executive Vanessa Harwood-Whitcher stated: “Our inclusion in the Employer Directory demonstrates our commitment to advancing OSH standards in the workplace, wherever possible.”

IfATE evaluated IOSH’s application before approving it, taking into account the company’s capacity and capability to perform any work, its ability to represent employers, and the existence of any conflicts of interest.

We are thrilled to welcome IOSH to the Employer Directory, said Nikki Christie, deputy director of IfATE’s business services division. The fantastic insights and guidance that industry-recognized professional organizations provide us with are really important for making sure apprenticeships and technical qualifications stay high-quality, relevant, and credible. IOSH will be a wonderful addition to this influential group of industry experts.”
