Apprenticeships

Power your workforce with apprenticeship partnerships at Herts

We work in partnership with over 250 private and public sector employers to deliver apprenticeship programmes that enable organisations like yours to attract early careers talent and equip their people with the expertise and skills they need to succeed in today’s fast-paced workplaces.

Herts’ apprenticeships are developed in direct consultation with industry and deliver the vocational skills you need today, and in the future - all fully funded by your apprenticeship levy, or through a levy transfer

You’ll have an expert account manager by your side to manage the entire process, from helping you create a job description, advertising your vacancy and helping you to shortlist suitable candidates through to onboarding on programme all the way to end point assessment.

Be confident that your employees will be receiving high-quality education and support. The University of Hertfordshire apprenticeship provision has been awarded an overall rating of 'Good' by Ofsted across all of the key categories of quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership & management (Ofsted, 2024).
