The event is open to employers/workforce development professionals, business leaders, and line managers of potential apprentices who would like to find out more about accessing our degree apprenticeship programmes.
Businesses of all sizes develop their staff on our programmes, and we welcome large corporates and SMEs. Please see our eligibility pages to ensure your business/organisation meets the necessary basic criteria for a degree apprenticeship or talk to our Employer Engagement team if you would like to check the event is right for you and your business.
During the day we will be running information sessions, where our Employer Engagement team will guide employers through the process of accessing a degree apprenticeship, including how the programmes are structured, available funding and eligibility criteria. Our Programme Directors will then walk through the content of the programmes and the skills, knowledge, and behaviours employees will develop throughout the apprenticeship.
Information sessions on the day:
- Data Scientist Degree Apprenticeship (Level 6)
- Electro-mechanical Degree Apprenticeship (Level 6)
Throughout the afternoon we will be running a series of workshops, designed to support you in your workforce development. Confirmed workshops include:
Recruiting Apprentices
Led by Hannah Thompson, one of our Faculty Careers and Employability Consultants, this session will explore the latest data insights on recruiting apprentices to help support you in the successful attraction and retention of the best candidates.
Inclusive Leadership
Explore how to create truly inclusive workplaces where everyone can thrive, with Nottingham University Business School’s Director of EDI, Dr Andri Georgiadou, in this interactive workshop. Beyond being a taster of Nottingham University Business School’s Inclusive Leadership programme. this workshop offers valuable networking opportunities with fellow professionals committed to making meaningful change.
Inclusive Hiring: Breaking Barriers & Building Better Recruitment Strategies
Join Ruth Francis, Learning and Development Manager at the university’s Institute of Technical Skills and Strategy for a practical and insightful discussion on diversity in recruitment. This workshop will explore common barriers to inclusive hiring, challenge biases in the recruitment process, and provide actionable strategies to improve your recruitment campaigns.
Please note that this event had been designed for workforce development professionals, employers and line managers of potential apprentices. We do however recognise that some apprentices will be current employees and will want to attend with their employer to find out more about the programme. We therefore welcome potential apprentices to our information sessions if they are attending with their employer or have an employer that has already engaged with our team.
Unfortunately, this event is not suitable for potential apprentices who do not have an engaged employer.
Some of our programmes are in high demand. We therefore do not recommend that interested employers delay conversations with our employer team until the event. Contact our Employer Engagement team and start the conversation today.
The timetable for the whole day is now available to view here: Degree Apprenticeship Employer Engagement Day.
Remote working space and access to WIFI will be provided and a business lunch will be provided for those who book.
