A major output of IfATE's commitment to gathering and acting on insights from stakeholders will be the publication of our vision for an integrated skills system, using the insights from The Big Conversation in March 2023. This report will synthesize insight from stakeholders about all aspects of the Integrated Skills System and set out what we think the skills system should look like in the future and how we'll get there. The Integrated Skills System is the umbrella term which IfATE uses to describe the elements that make up the skills system, for example range of qualifications; ability to progress through qualifications; consistency of landscape; and ability of qualifications and apprenticeships to support national priorities like increasing productivity and Levelling Up.

This research project focuses on degree apprenticeship costs and supports continuous improvement of the baseline data used within our funding methodology. This is a mini competition run under CCS Dynamic Purchasing System: Reference RM 6126 - Research and Insights.

The Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education's legislative role is to bring the employer voice into the skills system in England, making sure that apprenticeships, T Levels and higher technical qualifications are high quality, up-to-date and shaped by employer needs to address skills gaps. We are undertaking this work in the context of wider brand strategy activity being undertaken at DfE in relation to careers and skills services. The IFATE brand which is developed will act a test case, helping to shape and inform the crafting of the wider brand family created by DfE in the skills space. What we produce will need to link with the policy and communication goals of DfE. We will include DfE in the steering group and ensure the timing works to feed insights into the DfE work.

Customer Relationship Management System for the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education.

The Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) operates using a bespoke system known as Institute Data Service (IDS), that has been built and maintained by a team of in-house software developers and contractors. The Institute Data Service (IDS), is an essential internal digital service that provides information to assist case management and data reports to support core Institute decision-making - particularly board reports, panel packs and route reviews. IDS is used as an internal case management system used to record the approval process of apprenticeships, higher technical qualifications (HTQs), technical level qualifications (T-Levels) and other occupational products. IDS manages the submission process of apprenticeships during the 8-week cycle and allows users to record and comment on any decisions made throughout the approval process of qualifications. Product Managers (PMs) are able to access and view all apprenticeships assigned to them and download ready-made presentations containing publicly available data. Currently, IDS sits on the Department for Education's (DfE) Azure environment and is monitored by their infrastructure service provision. DfE do not play an active role in the management, configuration or continuous improvements for the system
