Apprenticeships
The University of Kent proudly supports employee apprenticeships, offering practical pathways to success in various fields.
What is an Apprenticeship?
An employee apprenticeship offers the right balance between working and learning.
You’ll be able to support your career development with a structured apprenticeship programme, that combines classroom learning with on-the-job training and development. It’s about taking on real responsibilities while gaining the skills and experience you need to succeed – with the support of knowledgeable colleagues and an external training provider.
Who are Apprenticeships for?
An apprenticeship is a way for anyone of any age and experience, including new and existing employees, to develop their skills further and even step into a new role at the University of Kent.
100% Levy Funding is available at Kent to pay for an apprenticeship programme, for all job roles and levels of experience.
Currently, there are over 800 apprenticeships available across a huge range of occupations.
How do Apprenticeships work?
If you undertake an apprenticeship, you’ll complete it while carrying out your day-to-day job. You’ll be assigned a training provider who will deliver through a blended programme the knowledge and support to help you in your role.
Our Apprenticeship Levy Funding is ongoing, so you can start an apprenticeship at any time.
Kent has a dedicated Employee Apprenticeship Manager with specialist knowledge of apprenticeships and the funding processes.
