Recruit new talent or upskill your existing workforce with Manchester Met

By now everyone has heard of Degree Apprenticeships, as businesses up and down the country embrace the positive effects of bringing an apprentice on board. But have you ever taken the time to consider how Degree Apprenticeships might work to support your business?

There are several key benefits for employers considering Degree Apprenticeships, that you might not be aware of:

• The Apprenticeship Levy. Hiring a degree apprentice could allow you to use your levy funds for training and assessments.
• Grow your talent. Apprentices can be extremely valuable to your business. By the time they have completed their degree, they will have years of bespoke work experience under their belt, helping you develop a skilled workforce.
• Designed for you. Degree Apprenticeships are also designed by businesses to suit business needs, so your apprentice will develop specific skills and knowledge to make a real difference to your workforce, from day one!
• Career Development. Degree Apprenticeships can be used to allow current employees to gain a university degree, and all the skills and new ideas associated with this. Investing in high-level training increases the talent in your team, fills skills gaps and boosts employee morale and staff retention rates.

So, whether you’re looking to upskill your current workforce, fill skills and knowledge gaps or recruit new and exciting talent, there has never been a better time to partner with Manchester Met to deliver Degree Apprenticeships.
