The Employer Based Training Accreditation (EBTA) scheme has been launched to raise the status of work-based training, employeebenefits.co.uk has reported. The project is organised by Foundation Degree Forward, which works with all relevant agencies, institutions, organisations and interest groups. "I welcome this scheme which provides expert advice to employers on developing their high-level training," said Bill Rammell, minister for lifelong learning. "EBTA will encourage employers to recognise the importance of improving the skills of their workforce, and applies the rigorous standards of university learning to their in-house provision." The scheme advises employees on training and workplace learning and it allows workers to gain credits that they can put towards a university qualification "This type of initiative supports the government's desire to see more employer-led and employer-influenced provision, which is crucial if we are to produce more people with the skills that business and the economy demand," Mr Rammell added.
