Overview
The past few years have seen increased sector and media interest in degree apprenticeships. A 2019 UUK report found that 89% of employers say that degree apprenticeships attract high calibre learners and that degrees equip apprentices with the knowledge and skills needed in a rapidly changing economy. In focus groups, when parents and school pupils discovered more about degree apprenticeships, they became enthusiastic about them.
But the sector is facing unprecedented challenges, as is the UK economy. In this environment, how can we build momentum to make sure that degree apprenticeships remain on the agenda? What is the impact of T-Levels on higher education? And how can we build new networks and ways of working that can adapt to the ever-changing landscape caused by Covid-19?
