Apprenticeships have gradually shed their image as a ‘good programme for other people’s children’, and they are increasingly becoming an aspirational choice for many individuals. Degree apprenticeships, are helping to overcome the academic and vocational divide, breaking down barriers to opportunity and developing skills excellence.
Apprenticeships are delivering on the social good agenda that is wider than social mobility. They are helping to tackle shortages in critical industry sectors and providing opportunities for individuals in our existing workforce to upskill, and reskill, meeting needs, as rapid advancements in technology continue to shape our working practices, learning and life. Apprenticeships are arguably having the biggest positive impact on social mobility as all age, all level, all sector programmes.
Join us as we explore apprenticeships as ‘ladders of opportunity’ for all, while recognising and celebrating excellence in degree apprenticeships.

When the future for technical skills for our learners maybe a ‘disrupted’ future, this session focuses on what it means to create a Future Skills Mindset. It will look at how to develop practices in our curriculum delivery for skill development impact, in a future where the industry changes are unknown, and where some roles do not yet exist. It will also include how educators can create curriculum impact with toolkits for beyond the session and straight into impactful learner change.
