How to Apply for a Degree Apprenticeship
Gillian Jones, Careers and University Advisor, Pocklington School, Yorkshire, explains how to apply for a degree apprenticeship
Lower Sixth, autumn term
Research sectors and universities offering degree apprenticeships.
There are three ways of finding opportunities: employer websites (some skills agencies like Tech Partnership also give details on companies offering degree apprenticeships); UCASÂ lists vacancies, as does the Government?s apprenticeship website.
Identify and research the companies you?re interested in.
If you want to work for a particular employer, explore their website. Most stick to the same cycle each year, so you?ll know the application process and approximate timetable for the following year.
As a rule of thumb, vacancies with larger companies start to appear in the autumn, but the majority start to advertise from January onwards, with smaller businesses recruiting a month or two before the job starts. Unlike traditional degrees, there?s no fixed cycle for applications. Lower Sixth, spring term
Visit university Open Days.
Start to look at how the course is structured ? it tends to vary across universities and employers, as each programme is tailored to suit individual employer needs and delivered in the style of the university?s teaching model. During your visit, ask questions about the apprenticeships and find out as much as you can about the structure and delivery of the courses.
