National Apprenticeship Week (NAW 2019) takes place 4 to 8 March 2019.<\/p>\n

This annual celebration of Apprenticeships will bring the whole Apprenticeship community together to celebrate the impact of Apprenticeships on individuals, employers and the community.<\/p>\n

As an employer, the University of Kent is committed to supporting new and existing employees through Apprenticeship standards.\u00a0 Apprenticeships are for everyone regardless of age, gender or job level.<\/p>\n

Apprenticeship programmes combine work, training, and studying so you can ‘earn while you learn’. The introduction of the Apprenticeship Levy in April 2017 gives employers, such as the University of Kent, the opportunity to develop their workforce using Apprenticeships which are fully funded by the levy.<\/p>\n

This means the levy pays for 100% of your Apprenticeship training, with no cost to you or your department.<\/p>\n

Here at Kent we are seeing more and more teams supporting existing colleagues through an Apprenticeship as well as recruiting new employees as Apprentices.<\/p>\n
