and the Institute has been greatly encouraged by the introduction in recent years of Levels 2, 4 and 6 to accompany the Level 3 standard.<\/p>\n<p>The UK economy is suffering a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/women-in-engineering-2\/66246\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">serious skills shortage<\/a> and so is our sector at a time when our profession\u2019s skills have rarely been in greater demand as the nation seeks to build back better after the pandemic.<\/p>\n<h3>Key skills in developing and managing<\/h3>\n<p>IWFM chief executive, Linda Hausmanis, said: \u201cWe want to see a greater uptake of apprenticeships across the board and Bolton\u2019s course is an important and very welcome step in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDegree apprenticeships allow employers to invest in their workforce by effectively combining university education, work-based learning and ongoing professional development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/sizewell-c-levy-transfer\/84303\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Levy-funded apprenticeship<\/a> opens up another excellent avenue into senior workplace and facilities management at a pivotal moment for our profession.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEmployers have been incentivised to take on apprentices with additional Government funding so I hope we will see more and better apprenticeship provision going forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurthermore, successful completion of this apprenticeship meets the requirements for IWFM\u2019s Certified grade (CIWFM); and as we have set our sights on becoming a chartered profession, the more options that exist for FMs to reach the Level 6 standard the better for them and for our profession as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr Peter Farrell, programme lead at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bolton.ac.uk\/explore-our-schools\/school-of-engineering\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">University of Bolton\u2019s School of Engineering<\/a>, added: \u201cOur expert team will support apprentices as they undertake structured training in a number of essential areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll guide them as they gain key skills in developing and managing strategy and policy, change and programme management and operational and technical leadership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith a focus on helping apprentices develop the behaviours required for occupational success, such as collaboration and influencing skills, leadership and a systematic approach, you can be assured that we\u2019ll work hard to support them as they develop into senior facilities management professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bolton University will deliver a facilities management degree apprenticeship, after gaining approval as an IWFM recognised centre to deliver the IWFM diploma as a dual award with its BSc (Hons) in facilities and built asset management programme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[285],"tags":[547,664,3649,636,742,276,780,592,660,596],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-94918","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-hr-skills-news","7":"tag-apprenticeship","8":"tag-construction-services","9":"tag-education","10":"tag-engineering","11":"tag-facilities-management","12":"tag-government","13":"tag-collaboration","14":"tag-skills","15":"tag-skills-shortage","16":"tag-training"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>University of Bolton to deliver facilities management degree apprenticeship<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Bolton University will deliver a facilities management degree apprenticeship, after gaining approval as an IWFM recognised centre\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/facilities-management-apprenticeship\/94918\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"University of Bolton to deliver facilities management degree apprenticeship\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Bolton University will deliver a facilities management degree apprenticeship, after gaining approval as an IWFM recognised centre\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/facilities-management-apprenticeship\/94918\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
