Double boost for apprenticeships at Teesside University
19 Feb 2024
If you're thinking of recruiting a degree apprentice or would like to upskill your existing workforce we can help with your recruitment process.
We can give you advice on:
Our higher and degree apprenticeships are specifically designed in partnership with employers and professional bodies, enabling us to tailor them to your needs. At Teesside University we work with organisations across all sectors and are approved by the Education and Skills Funding Agency.
Your apprentices can be existing team members or new recruits. The choice is yours.
Apprentices must be employed for a minimum of 30 hours per week.
Apprentices spend a minimum of six hours a week (of their contracted working hours) undertaking off-the-job training, and the rest of the time in the workplace. They are also required to demonstrate their workplace competence during their training, as well as academic learning to complete the programme. Your apprentice is assessed at the end of their apprenticeship to showcase their skills and knowledge.
See our full list of programmes available and those in development.
Employer Plus is a comprehensive package of support for employers to help them navigate the process of apprenticeships.
Employers with an annual pay bill of over £3m contribute to the apprenticeship levy. Employers with an annual pay bill of £3m or less do not pay the levy - the government will pay 95% towards the cost of an apprenticeship with 5% invested by the employer.
Complete our short online form for more information about any of our programmes or to find out how we can work with your organisation to develop your employees.
Please note, we can only respond to enquiries from employers, or individuals with agreement from their employer to undertake an apprenticeship.
