Q1 Feedback from RPs
There is a widespread existing commitment, by most RPs, to the creation of Employment and Skills opportunities at the local level
A number of London RPs refer to the Notting Hill Housing’s Construction Training Initiative (CTI) in West London
The cost implication of Employment and Skills, especially apprenticeships, requirements needs to be considered
There are some significant difficulties in monitoring through the supply chain
Employment and Skills returns were required at too short notice for Q1 reporting on NAHP-linked outputs

Next steps
Most RPs are starting to consult and create framework agreements for the creation and/or procurement of streamlined Employment and Skills opportunities
Many RPs are starting to introduce streamlined systems for monitoring Employment and Skills outputs on each contract on a monthly or quarterly basis
Some RPs are starting their own apprenticeship sponsorship schemes

Issues for HCA
Advice is needed on the monitoring and evaluation of the apprenticeship and training profile and matrices
Best practice should be shared more widely: understand what other RPs have done, strategy and policy for implementation, procedures to be applied through the supply chain, etc.
