Degree level Apprenticeships

The Government has said that it will part fund a new Degree Apprenticeship scheme, alongside leading industries such as IBM, BT and John Lewis. A spokesperson said that, ‘The first of the new qualifications will be available in the digital sector to help provide the skills for a wide range of careers and to help fill the estimated one million digital job vacancies over the next decade”. The Government will pay two-thirds of the costs and fees while employers will pay trainees' wages and other costs. The academic training will be delivered through universities, including Manchester Met and UCL.
