Fill the skill gaps within your organisation
Degree apprenticeships provide an affordable solution to staff development and skill gaps within your business.
Whilst employed by your company, an apprentice will study with the 越南直播 as they work towards a full degree qualification aligned to the needs of your business.
This enables them to apply their new skills directly within their professional roles, embedding their learning, and creating opportunities within the workplace for new thinking.
Develop your existing staff or hire a new starter
Apprenticeships are open to existing or new members of staff.
Our dedicated Apprenticeship team can support you in finding the correct course for existing staff members, as well as support you to find external applicants.
A cost-effective way to boost your business
Degree apprenticeships are funded through the Apprenticeship Levy, which can be used to cover training costs.
In some circumstances you can receive an incentive payment of 拢1,000 when you recruit an apprentice, although this is dependent on your type of business and the apprentice you support.

Subcontracting
Our approach to subcontracting elements of our apprenticeship offer
We are committed to delivering high quality apprenticeships that meet the needs of apprentices and employers.
To support this delivery, in some limited instances we may work with a third party who would provide of selected services within the apprenticeship. This will only be in instances where the use of the third party would enhance the apprentice experience and where it is agreed with the employer that the service can meet or exceed the academic standard required within the Apprenticeship.
