Draft revisions · Pending Design Session 2

Proposed metric architecture

All four GP2 metrics are in scope for revision following Design Session 1. What follows presents SRA's proposed language. The headline metric configuration, Index-led versus headcount-led versus co-equal, remains a live decision for Design Session 2.

GP2-HM · Headline metric

Three configurations

The same evidence supports all three configurations below. They differ in which instrument leads the headline statement.

Recommended Option A Index-led

By 2029, triple the Apprenticeship Ecosystem Influence Index from its 2026 baseline, with verified milestone events spanning at least five of the six influence channels and adoption-and-scale events comprising a rising share of the total, on a credible forecast trajectory toward [N] net attributed technology-focused apprenticeships. [N set after 2026 baseline census.]

Option B Headcount-led

By 2029, expand net attributed technology-focused apprenticeship opportunities to [N], directly or through ecosystem influence, with attribution discounted for share, funging, and confidence tier, drawing on baseline established by the 2026 census.

Option C Co-equal

By 2029: (a) triple the Apprenticeship Ecosystem Influence Index from its 2026 baseline, spanning at least five channels; and (b) expand net attributed apprenticeships to [N] per the 2026 census baseline.

GP2-AM1 · Program completion

Two-track completion

Track Proposed language
Track A
Retained		 90% of Google-run and Google-funded apprentice cohorts complete the program.
Track B
New, ecosystem quality		 In programs where Google.org recommended a practice change, document completion rate before and after adoption. Track marginal improvement across a sample of ecosystem-influenced programs annually.

GP2-AM2 · Meaningful opportunity

Two-track attainment

Track Proposed language
Track A
Program		 85% of Google-run and Google-funded program completers secure a meaningful opportunity within one year of completion.
Track B
New, ecosystem		 Document meaningful opportunity attainment rate for apprentices in ecosystem-influenced programs annually, using grantee reporting fields.

GP2-AM3 · Ecosystem engagements

Replacement options

Replace outright Option A Retire AM3

Retire AM3. Report the AEII annual score plus Panel 1 headcount as the replacement.

Option B Transition

Keep the engagement count through 2026 for continuity alongside the AEII graded-uptake layer. Move fully in 2027.
