Abstract

The Co-op Group commissioned the Institute for Employment Research at the University of Warwick (IER) to undertake an independent review of apprenticeships. Originally the study was to focus on the performance of the Co-op Group’s two largest apprenticeship programmes in food retail and funerals. However, when COVID-19 struck the planned fieldwork – interviews with business managers in food retail and funerals – could not take place. Instead it was decided to reformulate
the research to focus on how best apprenticeships can be developed to meet workforce and skills needs post-pandemic and how apprenticeships could be ‘built back better’.

Qualitative interviews via Microsoft Teams were undertaken with apprentice employers, sector representative organisations and providers across the two sectors:
• Food retail. Seven interviews were undertaken
with: the main apprenticeship employers; the British Retail Consortium (BRC); and a food retail training provider.
• Funerals. Eight interviews were undertaken with: the main apprenticeship employers; the National Association of Funeral Directors
(NAFD), and a funeral sector training provider.
