Empowering change with Degree Apprenticeships

We’re working with employers and industry specialists to broaden apprenticeship diversity in STEM subjects.

"Apprentices get both a degree and chartered status at the end of the apprenticeship, which is an important progression for them, as well as benefitting the company with a skilled workforce. Apprenticeships also help companies to get up to date with what is being taught and ensures this is embraced in the work carried out."
