UA92 Launches Degree Apprenticeship Pledge to Improve Access to Opportunities

UA92 is inviting employers to join its new Degree Apprenticeship Pledge, aimed at improving access to higher education and career opportunities for individuals from all backgrounds.

A recent report by the Education Policy Institute found that places at Russell Group universities are more accessible than degree apprenticeships for young people from areas of socio-economic deprivation.

In response, UA92 is offering ten employers the opportunity to create a new apprenticeship role within their organisation, helping to develop the next generation of talent.

From September 2026, participating organisations can become a UA92 employer partner and hire an apprentice undertaking a Level 6 degree apprenticeship in Data Science or Digital Marketing.

UA92 delivers apprenticeships and degree apprenticeships in Cyber, IT, Data Analytics, Digital Marketing and Multi-Channel Marketing, combining academic learning with practical, real-world experience and professional development.

This initiative gives employers the opportunity to build future-ready talent while offering life-changing career opportunities to individuals who may not otherwise be able to access higher education.
