Degree apprenticeships for students and workers

Wondering what steps to take next for your career? Unsure about which path is right for you? Are University just fees not adding up? If you answered yes to any of these questions, the answer could be a degree apprenticeship.

We know what you’re thinking, what is a ‘degree apprenticeship?’ Often you will not find these two words in the same sentence, but with the University of Bolton, they create the best of both words; learning and earning at the same time.

In the 2017/18 academic year, apprenticeships received a 32% increase in sign-ups according to the Department of Education. This rise in popularity has continued year-on-year, making degree apprenticeships more popular than ever.

So, why are people selecting degree apprenticeships? They give you the chance to learn from passionate and experienced lecturers, who support you through your studies. At the same time, you will gain industry experience from your time in the workplace; allowing you to build skills for the future.

Testimonials

Adam Tatlock

ConnectED | 2020

"I am currently studying a qualification in Customer Service and am hoping to progress onto a Business Administration qualification as well. Alliance Learning (ConnectED) fitted my traits to a job that was right for me by finding out about me personally, before I went to any interviews. They also provided with more than the skills necessary for me to succeed in every step of the application."
