Degree apprenticeships

Degree apprenticeships provide an alternative route to a degree, enabling your employees to combine work with study for a university qualification. Apprenticeships can contribute to the skills and development of both new and existing employees. Apprentices spend part of their time at the university and the rest at your organisation hence benefitting from on-the-job training enhanced by their university education.

Benefits for employers

Degree apprenticeships can offer added value and return on investment for employers as learners implement their learning and skills within the organisation. In addition, apprenticeships allow your organisation to:

• Address high-level skills gaps and specific business needs
• Develop future leaders for your business
• Increase motivation, productivity and performance of existing employees
• Recruit, support and retain high-calibre talent
