Higher Level Apprenticeships
Collaborating with universities to co-create new talent solutions can meet the needs of both learners and employers.
Facilitated through funding from the Department for the Economy, Higher Level Apprenticeships are an opportunity to fill higher level skills gaps, attract higher calibre staff, increase productivity or even develop existing staff, through a combination of vocational and higher education learning.
