Degree Apprenticeships - alternative to university
Watch TopicLooking forward, what do you predict are the growing opportunities/areas for school leavers who wish to go onto degree apprenticeships as an alternative to university?

With the Apprenticeship Levy in place, employers in Digital industries are very interested in degree apprenticeships, and they have already been running them since Sept 2015. We expect these numbers to grow exponentially over the coming years, with no student debt but the student receiving a full honours degree from a University [link removed]

We would agree with above comment. With the Levy now in place it is firmly on companies radar to review their apprentice openings. As an engineering and construction company and the shortage of skills sets in this area we are certainly expecting the degree apprenticeship route to grow over the coming years. We already have opportunities for degree apprentice routes in Civil, Building services and Surveying routes.
