Sheffield Hallam University has been shortlisted for the Educate North 2024 Apprenticeship Award.
The University’s National Centre of Excellence for Degree Apprenticeships currently supports close to 3,000 degree apprentices studying across 40 disciplines and subjects, more than any other provider in the UK. In the past year it has achieved key milestones including working with its 700th employer partner and facilitating higher and degree apprenticeship (HDAs) courses worth a total of £61.1 million.
Dan Lally, Group Director of Business, Enterprise, Skills and Employability at Sheffield Hallam said: “At Sheffield Hallam, we are the home of the National Centre of Excellence for Degree Apprenticeships. That means we have a responsibility to enhance understanding of the opportunities apprenticeships provide to individuals and businesses, especially here in the north.
“Bridging the knowledge gap around degree apprenticeships is so important, and this year we have led the higher education sector in positioning them as a viable alternative to traditional higher education. This nomination reflects the breadth of the work we have done in a really busy and successful year.”
The Educate North Awards, now in their tenth year, celebrate, recognise, and share best practice and excellence in the education sector in the North. Some 43% of Hallam degree apprentices are from Yorkshire. Winners will be announced on Thursday 18 April at a ceremony in Manchester.
