Harriet Watkinson, LMP Education As the first cohort of Library, Information and Archive Services apprentices progress through the course, Harriet will explain what the apprentices have been learning, what they are putting into practice in their workplaces, and where they hope to go next in their professions. By introducing the apprenticeship structure and content and highlighting areas of excellence in the apprentices' learning and job roles, you will learn how CILIP has supported diversity of learning in our professions and the unique skills an apprentice could bring to your organisation. #CILIPConf20 #NewVoicesBigIdeas

Editor's Notes
- My name is Harriet and I’m one of two tutors for this apprenticeship, I’ve been working with LMP Education for 8 months.
- This is a really brief summary of what I’ll cover in the presentation. My email address and twitter handle are on all the slides so do get in touch if you’d like more information.
- For 37 hours (full time) you’d do 7.4 hours per week of study.
- Theories The apprentice’s role and its context in the library, information and archive sector Policies and legislation including GDPR and copyright Types of information and sources (primary, secondary) Supporting users Developing information literacy and digital literacy through frameworks Promotion Customer care Space and environment Collections and storage Stock and budgeting for different demographics Collection management and development Collection lifecycle Physical and digital resources Stock acquisition, use, storage, preservation, archiving disposal
- Because we have an existing relationship with managers and employers we’re uniquely placed to support open conversation about career progression throughout and at the end of the course, whether that’s further training or study, professional development e.g. CILIP certification and chartership, or movement within the team to more specialised roles.
- That was a really brief introduction so do feel free to ask questions and get in touch if you’d like more information.
