The workshop will provide an opportunity to hear about and discuss the findings of the ETF-funded Teach Too project (see www.teachtoo.org ), which is being led by University College London Institute of Education (UCL IOE) and the Association of Employment and Learning Providers (AELP), working in partnership.  The Teach Too project has been highlighting the benefits to all vocational education and training programmes, including Apprenticeships, of ‘people from industry teaching their work’, in collaborative partnerships with professional trainers/teachers.  Case studies will be showcased, and issues raised by this approach will be discussed.
