Dear University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust colleagues,
Apprenticeship - Level 4 Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Automation Practitioner
Expressions of Interest should be shared with [email protected]
We are working with Apprentify, an Apprenticeship Provider with whom we already have colleagues on other programmes. Given the move to using AI more effectively and extensively, this Level 4 Apprenticeship aims to enable colleagues to manage data more effectively and is aimed at "anyone who manages data, oversees processes, identifies efficiencies, supports decision-making, or is involved in service improvement"
Here is a link to the Standard on the Government's Skills website https://skillsengland.education.gov.uk/apprenticeships/st1512-v2-1
The programme has a rolling enrolment, so there is no deadline as such to note an Expression of Interest. However, if this is something that interests you, please note the following:
-You must have the support of your manager if considering this development opportunity
-The learning on the Apprenticeship must align with your current role
-Education costs associated will be covered by the Trust's Levy pot
-The learning lasts for 18-months
-You will have 6-hours a week of 'off the job learning' which must be supported by your manager
-Completion will not result in any pay progression or re-banding of your role; this is purely CPD
-To be eligible, you must have lived in the UK for the past 3-years
-If on a Visa, your Visa must extend beyond the length of the Apprenticeship
-If your 'prior learning' is deemed too extensive, you may not be eligible for the Apprenticeship
-If you have undergone TUPE to OneLSC, all further communication and administration would be undertaken by the East Lancs Apprenticeships Team, with whom I will link you in with
Finally, some roles which have been identified by Apprentify as suitable for this learning are:
