Building on existing research that has examined the benefits and impacts of the Modern Apprenticeship programme for individuals and employers in the short to medium term, SDS worked with the OECD in 2016 to produce a framework for evaluating the long term outcomes of the Modern Apprenticeship programme. This work is now aligned to the Impact workstream, to measure the impact of work based learning on the individual, employer and wider Scottish Economy.
The Impact workstream’s research activities will focus on the impact of the Modern Apprenticeship programme as well as the newly developed Foundation and Graduate Level Apprenticeships. Measuring the impact of work based learning opportunities in Scotland is vital to better understand the long term outcomes of Apprenticeships and ensure return on investment.

On the afternoon of 18 August 2017 the Centre for Work Based Learning held a round table event on measuring the impact of modern apprenticeships (MAs), which is part of the Centre’s Impact workstream.
