Four years into delivering degree and masters-level apprenticeships and the results are in! York St John University has seen 100% pass rate for the first two cohorts of apprentices completing the Executive MBA and the results of the third cohort are expected shortly. Apprentices will join the University’s graduation ceremonies at York Minster in November 2021 and February 2022 to receive their Masters’ degrees. Dr Brendan Paddison, Associate Dean of York Business School, commented “I am delighted that we continue to see this level of achievement and success. It is testament to the hard work of both the students and teaching team. The End Point Assessment is a significant milestone in the completion of their studies and recognition of 18 months of both academic and work-based study where learners have gained a critical understanding of management knowledge, on which effective leadership and problemsolving skills have been developed.” “The opportunity was too good to not take advantage of,” says Harry Joyce, a graduate of our 2019 Executive MBA cohort. “I’ve enjoyed meeting people I wouldn’t have met through a professional capacity and hearing different views and opinions from people in different industries has been immensely rewarding.” Re-launched this year without the MBA award as the Senior Leaders’ Apprenticeship, York St John University took the decision to continue to offer the Executive MBA as a free top-up to those completing the level 7 SLA apprenticeship at YSJ. This continues to prove a highly attractive course to employers, with intakes twice a year at both the York and London campus. The suite of management and leadership apprenticeships at YSJ is aimed at developing key staff in organisations to improve performance, motivate and drive change and deliver strategic growth
