Grow Your Own Talent
Our Degree Apprenticeships provide the opportunity to nurture your own talent in partnership with a university placed among the top 30 universities in the UK for student satisfaction in the Guardian University Guide 2023.
We work in partnership with with leading employers including Coca-Cola, Caterpillar, Nestlé, Siemens Energy, and the NHS, to develop and deliver apprenticeships that meet the needs of industry.
Whether you want to help your employees get a foot on the career development ladder, fill a high level skills gap by attracting high-calibre new recruits, or train existing employees, we are able to provide support on every step of the journey.
Business Benefits
Degree Apprenticeships are a great way to bring in new energy and ideas to your business, while building the talent base needed for sustainable growth and success. There are many reasons to hire an apprentice, or enrol existing employees, from attracting new talent to continuity planning.
Developing Skills
Apprentices can develop the skills and knowledge directly relevant to your business.
Attract New Talent
Apprenticeships offer a package of study and work that can attract enthusiastic and talented new employees, often in areas of strategic skills shortages.
Government Funded
Degree Apprenticeships are an affordable way to develop your staff as they are funded by your apprenticeship levy account or heavily subsidised by the Government.
Encouraging Enterprise
Your business can benefit from the new ideas and thinking apprentices take back to their roles from their study days, giving them the chance to make an immediate impact in the workplace.
How They Work
The format and delivery methods of every apprenticeship differ with each programme. For all degree apprenticeships, however, learning takes place both at the University and through ‘off the job training’, which comprises 20% of a typical working week.
The new knowledge and skills gained by the apprentice during this time will be integrated into their role, with the benefits of their continued learning enjoyed by your business.
