Notas do Editor
- Hi everyone- Nikki Anderson, Head of Marketing and Campaigns at SFAStart with huge thank you for attending today – know many of you have had to travel fair distances to get here.In today’s presentation and workshops we’re going to give you some practical ideas for ways you can support the seventh annual National Apprenticeship Week campaign, which is taking place from 3-7 March next year.
- So just to give you a sense of how today will run..We are going to start by covering the National Apprenticeship Week headline strategy and messagingAnd this will be followed by your choice of workshops.There will be a 15 minute coffee break between each workshop.We will then meet back here afterwards to wrap up on Apprenticeships.For those of you who would like to stay, there will also be a presentation on the National Careers Service messaging and activity which will last until 1.30.
- National Apprenticeship Week is designed to celebrate everything that is good about apprenticeships! Through the week we want to showcase Apprenticeships and the positive impact they have on individuals, businesses and the wider economy.Last year - most successful NAW thanks to the unprecedented level of support from all our partners. Employers like you, apprentices and former apprentices, training organisations, schools, Sector Skills Councils and other support organisations who all got behind the week.A record level of media coverage was achieved and this slide shows just a couple of the headline grabbers.
- Just going to show you a short film which will give you an idea of how last year looked....
- That video gives you a flavour of the wide range of activity that went on….Each year we build on the success of NAW - So, last year: There were nearly 200 more events across the country than in 2012. More than 2,600 pieces of media coverage actually mentioning ‘National Apprenticeship Week’ (nearly 1000 more than 2012) 3,499 articles overall can be attributed to the NAW campaign were – just sometimes the journalist didn’t include the words “NAW” in their copy. 99% of the coverage was favourable, 48% strongly so. 90% of all UK adults were reached by the National Apprenticeship Week campaign 13.7 times each. (Optimum exposure levels to ensure retention and understanding of a campaign are between 2 and 4 per month, meaning all of these audiences were reached significantly well with relevant information). The Opportunities to See (OTS) value (ie the sum total of each article’s readership) for the campaign was 960 million Quarterly campaign tracking research we also carry out was also very positive, with higher awareness levels than in 2012 Social media results were also very positive, and the week trended on Twitter twice* Most importantly - The week also has a positive impact on learner and employer engagement levels. During the week there were 3,000 more registrations from potential apprentices that average on our Apprenticeship vacancies system. And there were 600 more employer enquiries than the week before.
- The theme for the week is Great Apprenticeships.It is a theme that we think cuts across both the supply and demand audiences. For employers it is about demonstrating how great Apprenticeships are for business and for potential apprentices it is about highlighting the great career and progression opportunities that Apprenticeships can offer.It also links with a new national government marketing campaign “Business is GREAT” to hightlight the support available to small businesses The hashtag NAW2014 will also be promoted throughout the campaign, and we will have two other campaign hashtags we will use, rather than a different daily social media theme for each day of the Week that we have had in the past and which sometimes didn’t always catch on.We will highlight the other two camaignhashtags as we go on.
- There is a key facts document on our website which you can access from the National Apprenticeship Week resources page, or in the toolkit or via the press office page. This is continually updated.
- Now onto the ideas suggestions for 2014. We have again produced a toolkit for National Apprenticeship Week which contains lots more ideas and links to supporting resources which is now available to download. (This time there are 5 shorter easy print versions of the toolkit, tailored to specific audiences, in response to feedback from our NAW 2013 evaluation survey).New toNational Apprenticeship Week is our online pledgeometer. The pledgeometer will allow employers to pledge apprentice job vacancies in the run up to, and during the week. On 7th March, the final day of National Apprenticeship Week 2014, the National Apprenticeship Service will publish a list of all employers who have made a pledge, and celebrate the overall number of pledges in their PR. (This was prompted by the success of our 14,000 jobs round up story which we ran on the Friday of NAW 2013, it gives us a more formal way of capturing all pledges and giving employers (that want it) recognition on our website and in our PR. You can still contribute towards the final jobs tally but opt out of having your company name published on our websiteWe are hoping to beat our 14,000 jobs pledge tally from 2013
- Job swaps were successful in 2013 and we would like to encourage these in 2014, they can be very creative and appeal to the media. If you can film them great, but a press release documenting the job swap can be just as effective.
- #247 apprentice is the first of the other campaign hashtags I mentioned earlier. The aim of this activity is to raise awareness of the opportunities that Apprenticeships offer.The campaign asks apprentices from a range of indusgtries and locations to post information about their working week via social media channels, such as Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and Instagram, using the hashtag #247 apprentice.We will collate the posts and create a storify page, creating a daily story highlighting what apprentices all over the country have been up to that week.The posts can include anything from images of the apprentice at work to tweets about attending a NAW event. There is detailed information about #247 apprentice in the employer’s NAW 2014 toolkit
- These types of events have proved to be very successful in the past – using peer to peer promotion is very effective and the events can be scaled to meet your resources.
- Made by apprentices was a campaign theme that launched in 2013 to show case the talent of apprentices and the contribution they make to the economy and employers across the country. The theme lends itself well to social media as well as events.
- Made by apprentice photoshoots took place across the country during NAW 2013 with apprentices showcasing products and services they had made. The best photos were added to the Number 10 Pinterest page.You can see an extract of this here.We are keen to repeat this activity in 2014If you would like your apprentice to be featured upload their photo to Flickr or Twitter using the Hashtag so we can pick them upWe are also keen to receive key facts on what Apprenticeships have delivered so we can create facts of the week which we can showcase on our website
- As you are at the Skills Show you will be familiar with skills competitions, which are a fantastic way of gaining recognition for your talented apprentices and your business. Exceptional competitors get the opportunity to represent their country and compete nationally and internationally, supported every step of the way by extensive training and mentoring. It is a fantastic opportunity and again there is more information on this in the NAW tookit and WorldSkills UK website
- Presenting at a school is an inexpensive way you can have a real impact, educating young people on the opportunities Apprenticeships can offer.If you are interested in doing this, Inspiring the Future can help you. This is a free service with a network of registered volunteers from app professions who go into schools to talk about their jobs and careers. The can offer support and resources to help you.
- You might also like to considerJob shadowing opportunities for your apprentices. Even the Skills Minister Matthew Hancock got involved this year, job shadowing BAE Apprentice Jenny Westorth in Preston on the Typoon production line and she shadowed him during National Apprenticeship Week itself accompanying him to Bilingsgate Fish Market and the Houses of Parliament Inviting a local journalist will help you generate more publicity for your activity
- This is just to spark off activity ideas for NAW 2014, there are lots more ideas included in the toolkit and there are also lots of supporting resources for you to access on our website too.Including branded materials and resources many of which are free, such as poster and invitation templates. There are also promotional merchandise items you can customise and purchase, such as banner stands, stickers, pens and mugs and the official NAW 2014 campaign Tshirt. This was designed by an Apprentice from Leicester College and will be available to order from the end of next week via our merchandising catalogueThere are also step by step guides for your to downloadAnd again we will be having an online calendar and event form. The functionality will be improved so people an search for events in their local areas more easily. Please complete a submission form even if your event is closed to the public and you don’t want it appearing on our website. We are keen that all activity counts towards the final events tally.And don’t forget to check out the pledgeometer (let us have your feedback too so we can make any tweaks to improve it).
- We are here to help, so if you have any feedback for us or if there are any other supporting resources you feel would be useful please get in touch with us.We are also running some sessions in December across the country for NAW supporters which include workshops on areas like social media, the National Apprenticeship Awards which launch in January and employer and school engagement activity.
