Why is TechTrack looking to start apprentices at HEO grade when it’s “normally” EO?
Apprenticeship levels do not correspond to grades. Starting at “EO” is quite limiting and means
that those who are further along in their career, say at Higher Executive Officer (HEO), would be
required to take a demotion to access this learning.
TechTrack is an upskilling programme, not an entry talent programme, therefore it is targeting
those already established in their working life who want a career change into digital. Their other
professional capabilities mean that they are HEO standard, but need to build subject expertise
from scratch.
