英国政府赋予了地理空间学徒

The UK Secretary of State for Education, Damien Hinds, has given final approval for a Geospatial Technician Apprenticeship by approving the funding band, meaning that this is now ready for delivery. The Institute for Apprenticeships has also recommended a final funding band to the Secretary of State for the Geospatial Mapping and Science Degree Apprenticeship and this will also be ready for delivery very shortly.

The Survey Association (TSA) funded the apprenticeship development work, assisted and guided by Apprenticeship Consultant, Christina Hirst. TSA vice president Nick Hampson commented that TSA has always been committed to encouraging more young people into the survey profession and stated to be delighted that the funding has helped to make Geospatial Apprenticeships a reality. TSA Member Companies made an important contribution to the Steering Group.’

Hampson补充说，自2001年以来，超过400名学生毕业于TSA课程，从TSA测量中进行测量，以及地理空间学徒级别是普通州的下一个合并资金和公认的资格。

Development of new geospatial talent

2017年9月由学徒们批准的学徒们批准，由制定这些已经等待这些资助乐队批准的雇主在交付之前 - 现在商定了地理空间技术人员学徒的9,000英镑，为地理空间测绘和科学学位为27,000英镑学徒（后者受到DFE的最终签名）。

The approval of these apprenticeships means that geospatial employers can use their Apprenticeship Levy payments or Government’s apprenticeship funding to pay for the development of new talent for their businesses.

Antony Jenkins, chair of the Institute for Apprenticeships said he is delighted that they have been able to approve these standards. High quality apprenticeship standards like this help learners and employers reach their potential.

Geospatial educational requirements

地理空间学徒已经开发出来by a group of 19 employers, led by Skanska and supported by the two relevant professional bodies, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors (ICES). The apprenticeship development was also supported by Class of Your Own.

Mark Lawton of Skanska, chair of the Trailblazer Group said it was truly inspiring to see professional bodies, trade bodies and different sectors of industry collaborate together under the project management of Christina Hirst. The future geospatial educational requirements for the apprenticeship have been tailored by the Trailblazer Group, and this is a huge educational step for our geospatial future talent, he added.

地理空间技术人员学徒的学徒将为成功学徒提供所申请的知识，技能和行为，申请成为皇家特许验船师或土木工程测量师特许制度以及地理空间测绘和科学学位学徒的成功学徒可以申请成为特许核查师或特许土木工程测量师的皇家机构的成员。

A number of Colleges and Universities are gearing up to provide these Apprenticeships and employers interested in supporting apprentices can find more information and the Trailblazer contact for these Apprenticeships by visitingthis website为地理空间技术人员学徒和访问this website用于地理空间映射和科学学徒杂志。
