Introduction
As part of the degree apprenticeship funding available from the OfS, the University of Portsmouth were successful in a bid within the Wave 2 applications for creating degree apprenticeship programmes in the disciplines of; Diagnostic Radiography, Nursing and Paramedic Science. As part of the bid, the Southern Universities Network( SUN) devised a programme to support the promotion and understanding of these programmes for all schools and colleges within the SUN region( Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight).
The programme was split into fours areas:
• Pre-16 workshops
• Post- 16 workshops
• CPD for teachers
• Resources on degree apprenticeships for students.
The key aims for the workshops with students were:
• Explore what an apprenticeship is and what’ s involved
• Identify the perks of being an apprentice and dispel some of the myths
• Recognise the finer details of apprenticeships; including levels, routes and support available
• Understand how to research and apply for an apprenticeship
