ORGANISATIONS rethinking strategies to propel their businesses and workforces forward are increasingly recognising degree apprenticeships as a source for fresh talent and ideas.
Introduced in 2015 to address skills shortages, degree apprenticeships are work-based training programmes combining full-time paid work with part-time study at university.
Apprentices typically spend 80 per cent of their time at work gaining on-the-job experience and 20 per cent working towards a professional qualification from degree to master's level.
They aim to unlock new opportunities for employers to fill critical skills gaps both now and in the future.
At Ulster University Business School (UUBS), Danielle McWall, head of the Department of Accounting, Finance and Economics, said the changing nature of work has spurred a renewed emphasis on education and skills and the apprenticeship system is gaining momentum.
