Apprenticeship programmes at Nottingham Business School are designed to meet the needs of businesses. Apprentices will apply their learning directly to their workplace and deliver both personal and professional impact.

Hayley White, Early Careers Manager Greencore said “We have seen the confidence of our apprentices grow in terms of both their personal and professional development. Our colleagues on these programmes return to the business with new knowledge and skills that they are able to apply to their day-to-day roles.”

Stephanie Sirr, Chief Executive, Nottingham Playhouse highlights the employer and employee benefits of the Senior Leader Apprenticeship “the right apprenticeship for a mid-career employee refreshes their thinking, enables them to get some perspective and reinforcement and the company benefits from that.”

Who can you put forward for an apprenticeship?

You can choose to recruit a new member of staff or elect an existing staff member to undertake an apprenticeship. An apprentice must fulfil the entry criteria to be accepted onto the course. They must also be in full time employment (working a minimum of 30 hours a week) and be contracted for at least the same length of time as the apprenticeship course.

How much will it cost and what funding is available?

The cost of a degree apprenticeship varies depending on the course. They present an opportunity not only for large levy-paying organisations, but also SMEs who, depending on their size and pay bill, could be eligible for government funding. The Apprenticeship Team at Nottingham Business School can help guide you through the different routes to funding an apprenticeship, no matter your company’s size.
