Degree Apprenticeship: Employers Connect

Event will link employers with Degree Apprenticeship opportunities at University of Northampton.

Employers Connect – the University’s second such event and to be held at the start of National Apprenticeships Week. Guests will hear from those in the know, the programme leads and other teaching staff who deliver our 14 Degree Apprenticeship programmes. They will detail the business value of Degree Apprenticeships, for businesses and staff.

Degree Apprenticeships blend quality, class-based learning at the University with practical work experience through the apprentice’s existing employer, offering an ‘earn while you learn’ study option toward a full degree.They address skills gaps, reduce youth unemployment and develop the career prospects of employees. As the cost of the course is covered by the Apprenticeship Levy – a ‘pot’ that many employers and universities can access – there are also no tuition fees. These apprenticeships can also increase business revenue and productivity and drive regional and national economic growth. In the UK, the estimated yearly gain for employers is between £2,500 and £18,000 per apprentice during their training period.
