Phase 2 Sector Reviews
Sector reviews form the backbone of our work with vocational qualifications, allowing us to focus on qualifications within particular employment sectors. The sector reviews completed so far have highlighted some cross-cutting themes, and these will be used as a focus for the phase 2 sector reviews.
Phase 2 sector reviews are shorter reviews (taking approximately 9-12 months) that are focussed on:
- assessing the current, and likely future, availability of qualifications for use on full-time post-16 FE courses, sixth form schools and apprenticeships in key sector areas; and
- identifying the need for, and maximise the availability of, Welsh medium vocational qualifications.
