What can I do after my Apprenticeship?

An Apprenticeship opens up a huge range of options to you, including:

• A Higher Apprenticeship, which includes a Foundation Degree and leads on to a full honours degree
• Progression on to new job roles, such as Management, Technical Specialists.

As an apprentice you have the potential to become a 'manager of the future'. Apprenticeships provide a foundation from which you can progress into management roles, particularly where the Apprenticeship frameworks are aligned to a company’s management development programmes. Apprentices learn while they work so their knowledge is up-to-date and because their training is on the job, the practical skills they gain are the ones that are right for the organisation’s business.

There is the opportunity for a you to progress from your Apprenticeship to gain a degree if you have the motivation and ability. This is a "fast-track" apprenticeship to a full Honours degree via a Foundation Degree, a high quality work based training and development programme demanding high standards. It aims at raising the skill levels of people available to the ICT industry to degree level. It is essential therefore that the selection process for potential "Higher Apprentices" is both rigorous and effective.
