Hi Michele,
The role of apprenticeships for archivists is something that is being actively considered at the moment and a trailblazer group is meeting for the first time in January to look at this in more detail and hopefully begin to form an apprenticeship standard (at level 7) that would provide a parallel path into the profession.
If you or other people have missed the information about this group and would like to find out more or get involved please do reply to me off-list.

Subject: Archives Apprenticeships
Dear All,
Apologies for cross posting, I notice that some of you have already posted on the subject. Apologies also for the previous email, it seems I pressed the wrong key!
We are thinking of offering an Archives Apprenticeship, which would work in the same way as an Archives Assistant but for someone without a degree.
They would attend one of the Archives course one day a week, but may well need to do extra modules to get to degree level or obtain a Certificate rather than a PG diploma.
CILLIP are proposing the scheme as 'Library, Information and Archive Services Assistant'
The ARA has recognised it as a valid Apprenticeship, having some entry requirements.
I was wondering if those involved in teaching the course in the various Universities know about this and whether this is something that could be developed? Have other Archives thought about this and also considering it?
I would be interested in hearing their views.
Thanks and Regards,
Michele
