This guide has been designed as part of a wider project to raise awareness of ways in which English for Speakers of Other Language (ESOL) learners can benefit from and progress to employment as an apprentice. It also illustrates how a focus on meeting ESOL learners' needs in the workplace can benefit employers and training providers. It is drawn from interviews with employers, ESOL providers, and apprenticeship providers. The project aimed to: (1) establish how and to what extent providers facilitate the transition from ESOL learning to apprenticeships; (2) identify current barriers to progression to apprenticeships for learners with ESOL needs; (3) identify ways in which policy and practice could be improved, to enable more people with ESOL needs to access apprenticeships; and (4) identify any current effective practice in supporting people with ESOL needs to progress into apprenticeships.
