Apprentices for employers

Why you should offer Degree Apprenticeships

  • Apprentices develop and apply the skills, knowledge and behaviours learnt during the Degree Programme directly to the workplace, which helps employees master their current roles and to fill skills gaps within the business.
  • Apprentices inform the business of the latest developments and technologies picked up during their degree programme.
  • Employers gain from investment with increased productivity and improved business performance.
  • Employers will be able to attract and retain talented employees, by providing a ladder of opportunity and career progression for them.
  • The business will as a result be able to; plan succession in key positions, identify top performers and prepare future managers.
  • Apprentices work on Industrial work based projects which are chosen through discussions with their employers, tutors and liaison officers and agreed plans are produced that benefit the business and the academic criteria.
  • The Degree Apprenticeship Programmes are supported by Welsh Government Funding or the Apprenticeship Levy Sch
