Find out how you can take advantage of funding to develop and retain existing staff or acquire new talent through apprenticeship opportunities.

Benefits for your business 

Through higher and degree apprenticeships, you’ll be able to attract new talent, support existing team members, and open up new progression routes in your business.

Apprenticeships can be offered to your existing staff or new recruits at any stage of their career, so the knowledge and theory they’ll learn will be directly applied to your workplace. 

Apprenticeships can help your business:

• increase workplace diversity and productivity
• train existing and new employees to degree level and beyond
• expand your recruitment pool
• take advantage of new, industry-relevant technology and facilities 
• enhance your team knowledge and workforce

Government funded

With the government’s apprenticeship levy, you can receive funding to support your apprenticeship costs. 

If you are a levy-paying business, you will be able to access 100% of funding. If you’re a non-levy paying employer, you’ll receive up to 95% funding towards an apprentice.

Our apprenticeships

Our apprenticeships adopt a blended learning approach with modules delivered through a combination of lectures, work-focused assessments and individual support.

Apprenticeship length can vary but undergraduate level apprenticeships typically take four years to complete and masters level programmes will take around two years. Generally, 20% of your apprentice’s time will be spent on training, but pattern of attendance vary from programme to programme.

Join an apprenticeship

If you’re interested in apprenticeships for your business, we can help you to join an existing apprenticeship. If we don’t offer an apprenticeship that would work for your business, you can work with us to develop a new one. 

We can help you make sense of the apprenticeship system, including the government’s apprenticeship service and any funding and incentives to cover your training costs.
