They provide progression to the workplace, either directly or via study at higher levels. Proof comes from YouGov research, which shows that 62% of large companies have recruited employees with BTEC qualifications.  \nWhy are BTECs so successful?  \nBTECs embody a fundamentally learner-centred approach to the curriculum, with a flexible, unit-based structure . In these new BTEC Level 2 Technicals, the focus is on the development of technical, practical and transferable work-related skills, and sector-specific knowledge.  \nThe development of these skills is key for learners to progress to work or to an Apprenticeship. When creating the BTEC Level 2 Technicals, we worked with employers to ensure that the qualifications meet their needs. Employers are looking for recruits with the appropriate technical knowledge, and technical and transferable skills essential for employment.  \nThe BTEC Level 2 Technicals meet these requirements through:  \n• a range of occupationally-related qualifications, each with a clear purpose, so that there is a qualification to suit each learner’s plan for career progression  \n• up-to-date content that is closely aligned with employers’ needs for a skilled future workforce  \n• assessments chosen to help learners progress to the next stage . This means that all assessments are set by the centre to meet local needs. This ensures that there is a core of skills and understanding common to all learners.  \nWe provide a wealth of support, both resources and people, to ensure that learner","cbCaiaBcR1cbjTaJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaBcR1cbjTaJ","pdf",5715613,178,"English","# Welcome\n## Why are BTECs so successful?\n## A word to learners…\n# Collaborative development\n## Summary of changes made between the previous issue and this current issue","[{\"question\":\"What is the focus of the BTEC Level 2 Technicals in horticulture?\",\"answer\":\"They focus on developing technical, practical and transferable work-related skills, alongside sector-specific knowledge.
