Apprenticeships aren’t just for large organisations. They’re becoming increasingly popular with private, public and voluntary-sector organisations of all sizes.

They are also suitable for existing employees at many businesses, as the scheme is not restricted to new hires.

So why not discuss your progression in the workplace with your employer, and find out whether an apprenticeship could be the right option?

As well as offering employees a chance to learn real-world skills while remaining in employment, apprenticeships can also provide employers with a highly cost-effective way to develop their workforce.

Let your employer know what we offer at the University of West London and about the benefits of apprenticeships to employers of all sizes.

You may wish to research the type of apprenticeship that best links to your (future) job role.
