Graduate Apprenticeships are specially designed to enable employers to develop new or existing staff through a blend of work-based and on-campus learning. This means staff remain working full time for their company while earning their degree.
The University of Aberdeen is offering 20 funded places on its new Graduate Apprenticeship BEng Civil Engineering programme commencing in September 2019.
The information session will allow employers to learn more about how thier organisation can benefit from Graduate Apprenticeships. Such as the following:
- Upskill existing staff to improve productivity and enhance staff retention
- Recruit high-quality new staff and develop their skills to meet the particular business needs
- Work-based learning means employees remain working for their company while earning their degree
- High level of administrative and pastoral support from the University ensuring a streamlined process for companies and their staff
Graduate Apprenticeships have been developed by Skills Development Scotland (SDS), Scotland’s national skills body, in partnership with employers, universities and colleges and professional bodies to create stronger links between education and industry.
