Our apprenticeship is suitable for new starters, up-skilling and re-skilling existing employees and for those looking to retrain, restart careers or enter the world of work. We are actively working with partners to ensure that we are able to attract a wide variety of talent, including ex-service personnel, those not currently in work or education and career-changers as well as school leavers and undergraduates.

Our commitment to lifelong learning, pastoral support and to providing routes into digital careers for underrepresented groups provide an excellent opportunity for employers to build teams with a diversity of thought and experience – a critical factor in innovative thinking within teams.

Approach To Learning

Nearly every employer that takes on an apprentice (96%) reports benefits to their business and as part of an Northeastern University London apprenticeship every apprentice will learn from colleagues and achieve competence through their day-to-day activities. Every apprentice also must spend at least 6 hours of their typical working week on off-the-job learning, acquiring the additional skills. This is their structured learning pathway through the apprenticeship. This off-the-job learning time is set out in the Training Plan and is documented and tracked by Northeastern University London, the apprentice and their line manager. Keeping pace with the trajectory in the formal learning schedule is essential for a successful apprenticeship. Progress in knowledge and skills alongside the amount of time spent in off-the-job learning will be reviewed as part of each Tri-partite progress review meeting between the apprentice, the line manager and the university Success Manager (at 6-8-week intervals).

Employers say qualified higher apprentices are the most employable people: 25% more employable than those with other qualifications. Nearly every employer that takes on an apprentice (96%) reports benefits to their business and we intend to maintain this through the design of our degree apprenticeship. Our programme built with an employer group, ensures that apprentices are productive at work as soon as possible, getting involved in activity at work to embed the knowledge, skills, experience and behaviours learned in the off-the-job elements of our apprenticeship.

We deliver our off-the-job learning for our apprenticeships in flexible, modular programmes based on each individual’s prior knowledge, skills, and experience. We offer multiple start times throughout the year, learning though block sessions, online courses, assignments and project work. Our expertise is in modular, stackable learning. This flexible approach is part of our design and delivery DNA.

Our apprentices progress along a career path from day one, gaining professional skills, status and accreditation as they go. Degree apprenticeships allow employees to earn while they learn at the highest level and progress into higher skilled occupations.

In addition to tailored on and off the job learning, our apprenticeships further focus on personal development. Our curriculum extends beyond academic, technical and vocational learning and provides opportunities to broaden development, enabling apprentices to develop and discover talents and interests and further develop their basic skills including maths and English. Our apprenticeships have a culture of safeguarding our learners and prepare individuals for life in modern Britain.
