## Notice

Expressions of interest are sought to deliver a survey to validate the findings from a smaller scale qualitative project on apprenticeship experience. Research is needed to explore what apprentices consider most important for successful completion and what drives their satisfaction. We are looking for a contractor to collect primary research data for us by way of a survey. The Department will be responsible for the design and analysis of the survey, although some input on the questionnaire from the contractor may be appropriate. The project needs to be completed by the end of March 2020. WORD COUNT: 1000 WORDS Additional information: DEADLINE FOR EOI RESPONSES: 21st October 2019 @ 11.30am WORD COUNT 1,000 WORDS
