Empowering change with Degree Apprenticeships
We’re working with employers and industry specialists to broaden apprenticeship diversity in STEM subjects.
We are committed to improving access and participation in STEM subjects through our apprenticeship programmes.
Diversity within organisations boosts productivity, morale and creativity. That's why we're partnering with employers to support their talent acquisition and recruitment strategies, fostering the next generation of STEM professionals.
UWE Bristol has received funding from the Office for Students (OfS), to support our commitment to tackle the diversity gaps in STEM through our Degree Apprenticeships.
Our STEM degree apprenticeships help retain and attract talent and help employees to upskill and improve their industry knowledge. Investing in apprenticeships can drive your company's success.
