Apprenticeships at Kent explained for employers and students.

About Higher and Degree Level Apprenticeships

Higher and degree apprenticeships are a partnership between the University and the employer. Apprentices are employed and paired  with experienced staff in order to learn relevant skills. Tailored university programmes equip apprentices with the most appropriate theoretical and practical knowledge.

Experienced provider

The University of Kent has worked in partnership with leading employers to deliver apprenticeships since 2011.

We work with a mixture of SMEs and large companies from a range of areas such as business and administration, finance, hospitality, retail and health and science.  

The apprenticeship levy

Since May 2017, larger employers have been required by the government to contribute to an apprenticeship training levy, with the government topping up funds by 10%.  And, for smaller employers, the government pays up to 95% of apprenticeship training costs.
