Paul graduated from his degree apprenticeship in Chartered Management in 2023, having completed the course alongside his work for �������� City Council. The partnership between the council and the University means it can offers degree level apprenticeships fully funded by the apprenticeship levy, delivered by the ��������. During his study period, Paul was able to spend 20% of his working time studying, making degree apprenticeships a feasible option for many people who want to continue working while still achieving a qualification.

“Doing a degree apprenticeship offered me the opportunity to get into Higher Education later in life,” explains Paul. “I learned a lot throughout my teaching from the ��������, particularly in terms of improving my understanding of organisational structures, and with professional development modules to equip me to progress in my career with �������� City Council.”

“While I was on the course I was promoted to Operational Manager within the organisation, which demonstrates I think the transferrable nature of the skills I learned during my apprenticeship. I’d recommend taking the leap for anyone considering a degree apprenticeship, particularly if your workplace offers programmes funded by the apprenticeship levy. It’s a great way to continue learning while working at the same time.”

Congratulations to Paul and all of our winners across the University!
