March 2026 Updates
|
Welcome to your March update! As the days get longer and we finally shake off the winter chill, there is a distinct sense of energy and evolution at Prostart.
|
This month, we are incredibly proud to celebrate Women’s History Month. From the suffragettes who fought for our right to a voice, to the modern pioneers in STEM and leadership, we are taking this time to honour the women who have shaped the UK’s history, and the female apprentices who are currently building its future.
|
It has also been a week of significant headlines in the apprenticeship world. You may have seen the recent announcement from IfATE regarding the removal of some Apprenticeships including the Team Leader Level 3 and Operations Departmental Manager Level 5 standards. While this marks a major shift in the national landscape, please rest assured that we are already working on the transition to the new, updated frameworks. We will be releasing a comprehensive briefing pack very soon, so stay tuned for more information.

Please note: If you are currently enrolled in these programs, your studies continue as planned, these changes primarily affect new registrations.
