Join us for a collaborative discussion with employers from across the plant science and agri-tech sector to help shape our government-funded Scientist (Biological Scientist) apprenticeship for the future.

Virtual Employer Roundtable: Growing Talent in the Plant and Agri-tech sector through degree apprenticeships

Date: Friday 9th May
Time: 1-2:30pm
Location: Virtual

Recent updates to the Scientist apprenticeship standard reflects a broader and more inclusive interpretation of biological science, making it more relevant and accessible to employers working in plant science, agriculture, and agri-tech. We’ll be exploring how we can align our academic programme to the needs of these sectors.

We’ll be tackling key questions like:

• How can the curriculum deliver the real-world skills your apprentices need?
• What sector-specific knowledge or techniques should be prioritised?
• What role should digital and data-driven methods play in apprenticeship training?

This is your opportunity to shape the development of future talent and ensure the apprenticeship delivers value for employers in your sector.
