This webinar is primarily for employers and mentors who  support Transport Planning Technician apprentices, but apprentices on this standard are also welcome to attend.

Why you should attend

To get some best practice advice and guidance from an employer with a large number of EPA successful apprentices, some of whom were exceptional candidates and to learn from a mentor how to support apprentices to gain the knowledge, skills and experience they need to pass the EPA.

Synopsis

This webinar will cover best practice advice and guidance from the perspective of a mentor and an employer of Level 3 Transport Planning Technician Apprentices.

It will also cover what support you can expect from CIHT and Leeds College of Building (LCoB) throughout this apprenticeship.

Learn how you can support your apprentice and develop your own in-house technicians who can provide technical support in the planning, design, implementation or assessment of transport planning policies, plans and projects.

Transport planning technicians will use their broad knowledge and skills base to support the delivery of, or improvement to, local, regional, national or international transport systems or services that are appropriately risk assessed and sustainable.

Joe Lewis, Portfolio Sponsor, TfL

Having started out my illustrious public service career as a nightwatchman at a local dump, a series of unexpected twists led me to a role at TfL’s Investment Delivery Planning section, where I help oversee the delivery of various active travel programmes amid (mostly) more salubrious environs.
