Members of SCiO were heavily involved in the development of the apprenticeship (England) from the initial Trailblazer Committee meetings through to the completion of the End Point Assessment Plan, and the apprenticeship knowledge skills and behaviours are in large part based on the SCiO competency framework.
The apprenticeship represents the views and efforts of systems practitioners from all sectors and a wide range of professional practices. It is now ‘live’, so employers are able to use the apprenticeship route to develop effective systems practitioners to a level equivalent to SCiO Advanced Practitioner.
SCiO’s stated aims, as the professional body for systems practice and practitioners, include supporting professional development and furthering effective systems practice.
SCiO will collaborate with registered apprenticeship providers to advise on or support apprenticeship delivery.
