The ASK Programme, and the Services to be procured, continue to be key channels for the Fire it Up campaign, especially for activities aimed at young people and their influencers. Resources produced through this Service will carry key communication and messaging from the national campaign and will be adapted to make them more relevant for our schools` audience. Schools use these services as a reference to find out more about apprenticeships and employer vacancies.
Although the face-to-face services are successful in engaging with schools and teachers, the website and online resources provide additional support for schools/colleges who wish to find out more about apprenticeships.
