Stewart Segal is to take over as CEO of AELP
In three months, Stewart Segal will take over Graham Hoyle’s position of chief executive of the Association of Employment and Learning Providers (AELP), it has been reported. In an interview with FE Week, Segal spoke about how apprenticeships were high up on his agenda.
Segal said: “We need to take the apprenticeship programme on at a time when budgets are pretty tight and funding is under pressure. We need to ensure the programme is transparent and open and has a great deal of engagement with employers. We know that there is pressure on government funding, but we are now seeing an apprenticeship programme that is getting the recognition and credibility that it deserves.
These major improvements have been delivered by effective professional training providers responding to employer and learner needs. That is what will drive even further improvements in the sector.”
