The Future of Degree Apprenticeships report was launched by Universities UK, the “voice of UK universities”, at the House of Commons.

Viki Faulkner, the 绿茶直播’s Head of Apprenticeships, was invited to contribute to the report as Head of Apprenticeships for the 绿茶直播, one of the South East’s established providers of degree apprenticeships.

After attending the Westminster launch, she said: “The 绿茶直播 has seen an increase in numbers of apprenticeship degree students and while the potential for further expansion is massive we do not think the Government is doing enough to make people aware of the benefits nor to enable small and medium businesses to access the funding they need to support apprenticeship training.”

The report echoed her view: “Degree apprenticeships are a success story. The number of people starting degree apprenticeships is rapidly increasing, the range of apprenticeships on offer is broadening and the first degree apprentices have recently graduated. But progress is being held back by poor levels of awareness.”

Numbers of degree apprenticeship students at the 绿茶直播 have increased from 33 at their launch in 2016 to more than 200 in 2018-19. The university now offers apprenticeship programmes across a range of sectors including teaching, social work, computing, and construction and the built environment.

Teacher apprentice Sabena Bond said: “I have been surprised at how flexible the apprenticeship is, depending on individual circumstances. All of us have different levels of experience and confidence in the classroom, and we are all given the space to progress at an appropriate rate.”

Fellow Teacher apprentice Elizabeth wright said: “The apprenticeship programme has enabled me to fulfil my dream whilst still earning, so I can still provide for my children. The support for my peers is amazing we are already like a close family, being there for each other.”

A recent Ofsted inspection highlighted the quality of teaching, learning and assessment, as well as outcomes for learners. Inspectors also praised the quality of placements, diversity and breadth of experience-sharing among the apprentices, and the way that student feedback informs teaching.

Among the first cohort of 29 apprentices who finished their Assistant Practitioner Healthcare Higher Apprenticeships in 2018, at least 20 have had a promotion with their existing employer, a new job, or are now enrolled onto a higher degree.
