• Approx 60k of these will be degree apprenticeships
• Public bodies including hospitals, schools and the police will be set targets to take on more apprentices.
• Employers must develop the tools necessary to design and implement successful apprenticeship programmes.
• Trailblazer employers also driving demand and content of new programmes – Professional bodies making inroads
Degree Apprenticeships: Challenges for the University in developing new degree apprenticeships.• Cultural:
• Getting over the stigma of the word ‘apprenticeship’ and the notion of equivalence to traditional honours degrees
• Recognising/identifying benefits to existing programmes in terms of curriculum and employability.
• Starting the process:• Developing a ‘framework’ for a programme that will work for an
employer, professional body, Govt. accreditation agency.• Locating/working with a trailblazer employer and/or
professional body.
