Industry/industries served by the proposed apprenticeship Currently, Arboriculture has a low level of regulations apart from individual health and safety programmes that are required from an insurance point of view. The arboriculture industry in the UK, Europe and Australia is well established. In Ireland, the industry is mostly made up of individual employers who are operating independently of each other and all acknowledge they need to bring in an internationally recognised standard to improve the industry. All businesses contacted to date have reported issues with enticing and retaining people in the industry. The lack of a chosen career path enabling employability within the industry is cited as leading to issues with retention. Members of the Consortium from industry are North West Forest Services, Kilcoyne Tree Surgery, Treepro, ESB Networks, with representation from the Arboriculture Association – Ireland, Ballyhaise College, Teagasc and Galway Mayo Institute of Technology. In addition, through employer engagement meetings, the following employers were consulted: Ian Alcock Tree SUS, Barbers Tree Services, Cosgrove Tree Services, MIMA Sky, Healion Tree Care, King Tree, Teagasc, Branching Out Tree Care (BOTC), Midland Tree, CMarbor, McGovern Forestry, Redwood and Twin Oak Tree Care. The findings from these meetings have informed the content of this Occupational Profile. Proposed minimum entry requirements for apprentices on the programme From contact with stakeholders in the industry, potential issues with literacy and numeracy have been identified. GRETB has a well-developed support structure already used within apprenticeships to help participants with any literacy and numeracy issues. GRETB has developed a ‘Study and Learning Handbook’ along with an ‘Introductory Maths Course’ which is intended to be adapted for use with this apprenticeship. This innovative approach intervenes at Phase 1 of the apprenticeship cycle to support apprentices on their journey to successfully completing all phases of their apprenticeship as well as providing an integrated literacy and numeracy service. The following are the proposed minimum entry requirements: • Must be employed by an ‘approved employer’. • Level 4 Award or equivalent. • Non-EU applicants will be subject to work permit regulations. • Apprentices must provide evidence demonstrating English language competence at B1 in reading and writing. OR • Have a minimum of 12 months’ relevant experience in a related trade and/or Arborist employment. • Attend interview with Subject Matter Expert and GRETB personnel. Proposed minimum entry requirements continued • Non-EU applicants will be subject to work permit regulations. • Apprentices must provide evidence demonstrating English language competence at B1 in reading and writing. Recognised Prior Learning (RPL) will be adjudicated through applications from potential apprentices who are seeking to use RPEL for access onto the programme. Once received, an RPEL process will be conducted to address formal and non-formal learning through one-to-one consultations with supporting documentary evidence and assessment of application. GRETB is developing a policy on Recognition of Prior Learning.
