The Apprenticeship Office is a central professional service that manages the recruitment, onboarding, support, monitoring, and compliance of the apprenticeship provision.

The office has successfully grown the apprentice offer in UWL with over 24-degree apprenticeships – 17 approved standards at degree level, and within these there are a further seven specialist pathways. As the range of apprenticeships, we offer has expanded, so have the numbers of apprentices and employers who engage with us.

Another key role of the office is to work with the Schools and Colleges in the university to provide the required continual monitoring of apprentice’s engagement to ensure funding compliance and external regulatory body requirements.
