University of Nottingham

The University of Nottingham delivers a broad portfolio of apprenticeships and degree apprenticeships designed to develop new talent and upskill existing staff across a range of sectors. Through its Apprenticeships and Work, Learn, Qualify programmes, the university offers apprenticeship standards in fields such as accounting, business and administration, catering, creative and digital media, engineering, IT applications, and laboratory and science technician roles, combining in‑house support with external training to help apprentices become productive members of staff quickly. For employers seeking higher-level workforce development, the university provides degree apprenticeships that blend research‑led teaching with practical workplace experience in areas including architecture, data science, electro‑mechanical engineering, healthcare and secondary mathematics teaching. These programmes are structured so that apprentices are employed in roles that allow them to apply the knowledge, skills and behaviours required by the relevant apprenticeship standards, with tuition costs typically funded via the apprenticeship levy or government co‑investment, meaning no course fees for the apprentice. Dedicated employer engagement and professional development teams support organisations with programme selection, funding guidance and ongoing collaboration to align learning with business needs, helping employers build sustainable skills pipelines and address local, regional and national workforce demands.
