Empowering change with Degree Apprenticeships

At UWE Bristol, we are committed to improve access and participation in STEM subjects through our apprenticeship programmes.

Diverse organisations are proven to boost productivity, morale, and creativity. As an employer, investing in apprenticeships is crucial for driving your company's success. They help retain and attract talent; offering opportunities for employees to upskill and improve their industry knowledge.

That's why we're partnering with employers to support their talent acquisition and recruitment strategies, fostering the next generation of STEM professionals.

Our collaborative efforts involve

• Collaborating with businesses to enhance workforce diversity through effective attraction, recruitment, and retention strategies.
• Providing consultation via a series of roundtable events.
• Attending conferences, events and visiting employers to increase awareness and promote equality in apprenticeships.
• Building on our outreach work with schools and the wider community.
• Partnering with Women Like Me to address diversification gaps on Engineering, Digital and Built Environment degree apprenticeships.

Funding

UWE Bristol has received funds from the Office for Students (OfS), to support our commitment to tackle the diversity gaps in STEM through our Degree Apprenticeships.
