LJMU DEGREE APPRENTICESHIPS: AMBITION AND INNOVATION

Discover how your business could benefit from partnering with Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) to offer degree apprenticeships and match your ambition with our innovation.

A degree apprenticeship is a route into work-based learning that enables apprentices to achieve a full degree while developing practical skills in the workplace and it makes great sense for your organisation.

You’ll gain a highly skilled employee with both the academic qualifications and the relevant practical skills that will enhance your workforce.

By working for your organisation, a degree apprentice will develop an indepth understanding of the sector and, by studying part-time at LJMU, they’ll bring a fresh perspective and up-to-date knowledge to their job.

How we support you

You’ll receive bespoke support from our dedicated team, ensuring a seamless integration of apprentices into your business tailored to your needs. With LJMU, you’re a 50/50 partner. You’ll also be able to leverage our cutting-edge research and industry connections to stay ahead in a competitive market.

Our programmes are designed not to just educate, but to innovate. So, with 20% of your apprentice’s time spent at university, you’ll benefit from them bringing all that learning back into your business for the rest of the working week.

What our employers say

Rachel Joshua, Associate Director at RDG Engineering, said: “Working together with LJMU on degree apprenticeships is a great way for our engineers to use what they’re learning at university first hand. All of those practical skills are applicable to the working environment.”

“Degree apprenticeships are great because we get to keep in touch with the university and we understand what students are actually learning and what is included in the curriculum and it’s so beneficial for us and for the students to get to apply those skills in real life.”

Paul Grady, Practice Education Facilitator at Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Trust, said: “I can’t speak highly enough of LJMU. It’s a really positive partnership that helps me in my role and I can quite clearly say that it helps the students.”

“Everyone learns in different ways and the degree apprenticeship programme allows our students the flexibility to have the academic support and study at university and also progress and develop in the workplace. It’s a really positive career pathway and I can’t speak highly enough of how supportive the tutors and other staff at LJMU are in the delivery of the degree apprenticeship programme.”

Outstanding skills, behaviours and attitudes for your business

LJMU has been delivering degree apprenticeships for almost a decade across a range of sectors, including policing, healthcare, civil engineering, chartered surveying, and business management.

The university is expanding its provision following the award of significant new funding from the Office for Students.

Professor Clare Milsom, Registrar and Chief Operating Officer at LJMU, said: “We are grateful for the ongoing support of employers across the Liverpool City Region and beyond. There would be no degree apprenticeships without our employers, and we’re absolutely committed to ensuring our students develop the skills, behaviours and attitudes required in the workplace to help your business succeed.”

Whether your business is large or small, LJMU would love to talk to you about working together to deliver your workforce strategy through the degree apprenticeship programme.
