Dear Employer,

Following the Government’s latest announcements, we want to take this opportunity to update you on the steps MITSKILLS is taking to continue to support Apprentices and Employers. We understand that you will be experiencing a great deal of disruption across your organisation, we will continue to work with you and your Apprentices during this difficult time. 

The College will now be closed to students, we hope to be able to resume normal College operations as soon as possible. However, this is a changing situation and we appreciate your patience at this time when everyones safety is paramount. 

Apprentices: 
The Apprenticeship Team will be working remotely during this time. Teaching staff will share work with Apprentices via on line platforms on the day of the week the Apprentice would normally either be in College or be visited in the workplace. Apprentices will be asked to complete the work set and return as instructed. Assessors will also continue to carryout reviews with input from Apprentices and Employers either via email, telephone or video conferencing. Apprentices will need to continue to demonstrate their ‘on the job’ training experiences. Apprentices which do not engage will be reported to their employers. 

Examinations: 
Information on examinations such as, Functional Skills, Synoptic and End Point Assessment will be released to us by appropriate awarding organisations over the coming days/weeks. If your Apprentices are due to take any exams in the coming months, we will keep you informed as arrangements develop. 

Employers’ Liability Insurance: 
If your Employers’ Liability insurance is due for renewal please can you ensure an up to date copy is provided to us to ensure we are meeting our legal duties. This should be sent to your apprentices teaching staff or in the alternative directly to ADMIN@MITSKILLS.COM 

We will continue to offer front line support, in the first instance please contact the tutor for your apprentice. For further assistance the Apprenticeship Management Team is available by contacting HANI.ZUBEIDl@MITSKILLS.COM OR 07785103001 , if you provide a contact number I will contact you directly. Please be assured we will respond to your enquiry at the earliest opportunity.
