Graduate Apprenticeships
Graduate Apprenticeships provide a new way into degree-level study for individuals who are currently employed, or who want to go straight into ?work. Introduced in 2016, they have quickly expanded to include more industries and ensure more individuals and employers can take part. The growth of Graduate Apprenticeships has been successful and an increasing number of universities and employers are exploring new and innovative ways of delivering Graduate Apprenticeships. By the end of 2018, fourteen of Scotland’s universities and colleges were delivering Graduate Apprenticeships, in twelve subject areas, covering sectors including ICT and Digital, Cyber Security, Data, Civil Engineering, Engineering, Construction and Business. Students study at college and university, while being employed. Over time, more and more individuals will get the chance to study for a degree at the same time as earning a good wage. More employers will also recognise the benefits of ?apprenticeships as a key part of their recruitment and workforce planning strategy.?
