For this project the task was to gather data around all apprenticeships within Caroola between 2017-2023 ensuring compliance with UK GDPR legislation. From gathering this data the findings where to be presented to the director/executive team to forecast the future of where apprenticeships were headed within the business.
To begin this project the levy funded apprenticeships service was accessed through the Government apprenticeship system to collate the big data for levy funded apprenticeships.
When gathering the data, this turned out to be a very manual process as, again, due to UK GDPR regulations only 12 months of data was able to be extrapolated from the system. Therefore, 5 years of data was manually pulled that could be used within the research.
Following the gathering of this 'Big Data' from all training providers, the next task was to develop more qualitative data focusing on the main provider Paragon skills. This looked at the cost of apprenticeships and the rise of people studying entry level against the decline of those studying higher level apprenticeships.
