The apprenticeship programme - the benefits
Earn while you learn!
Higher and degree apprenticeships are an opportunity for school and college leavers to get a debt-free, industry-designed degree and leap straight into a career.
Usually, young people have to make a choice when they leave school - do they go to university, or get a job straight away?
It’s a difficult decision: both options have their benefits and drawbacks.
The higher and degree apprenticeship has been designed to give students the best of both worlds.
In a nutshell, candidates work for an employer and attend university at the same time.
Employers partner up with a university, and the apprentice will split their time between working for them, and studying for a degree at the partner university.
The benefits
The Institute of Fiscal Studies has revealed that students in the UK accumulate an average debt of £50,000.
The 2012 hike in student fees has forced school leavers to be shrewder consumers of higher education.
A higher and degree apprenticeship has all the benefits of a conventional degree programme, without the financial anxieties.
On top of this, higher and degree apprentices are provided with the practical experience and wider employability skills which are crucial to career success.
EARN WHILE YOU LEARN
Higher and degree apprentices are employed throughout their programme, completing paid work from day one.
For example, Jaguar Land Rover’s Engineering Degree Apprenticeship scheme has a starting salary of £18,500 per year, increasing by 10% every 6 months. Apprentices are expected to earn over £35k per year on completion of the course!
DEBT FREE
Both higher and degree apprenticeships achieve either professional qualifications and/or a full Bachelors or Masters degree. Another one of the many great benefits is that this process avoids huge debts from tuition fees and loans.
EMPLOYABILITY
Although higher and degree apprenticeships do not guarantee a permanent job, apprentices are highly employable graduates.
In 2020, 90% of apprentices went straight into work or further training after they had completed their scheme.
RELEVANT SKILLS
Employers and professional bodies design the overall programme, so apprentices obtain the specific practical skills which are necessary for a job.
Apprentices can move seamlessly from their higher or degree apprenticeship into a skilled profession.
