BE THE NEXT DEGREE GRADUATE? Want to get yourself a degree, but think it might be too expensive or take years of full time study?
It doesn’t have to be that way at all! Compare these two examples: Unemployed Graduate who took the “traditional” academic fulltime university route
Fully employed Graduate who took the vocational L3 Apprenticeship day release study route
Time to qualify: 3 to 4 years, full time Earnings during course: £0 Earnings on graduation: No guarantee of job Debt and loan to repay after graduation: £thousands (possibly tens of thousands)
Time to qualify: 2 years, part time Earnings during course: £100 a week in year 1, £150 a week in year 2 Earnings on graduation: £full employer wages Debt and loan to repay: £0
Getting a degree is a great thing to do. It shows you’re a hard worker, that you know your stuff and it can give you a serious edge when it comes to the highly competitive jobs market - but many still think it takes years of full time study that will leave you in large amounts of debt.
Well, if you take the traditional route to a degree that may be true - but there is another way; one that’s faster, offers you full time employment (and therefore wages!) and still gives you the same qualification at the end of it - the Hartlepool College Apprenticeship Vocational Degree path.
