💡 Perceptions vs. Realities: Debunking outdated ideas about Apprenticeships 💡 🚫 Myth: Apprenticeships are a "second-rate" option compared to university degrees. ✅ Reality: Many apprenticeships lead to degree-level qualifications, blending hands-on experience with academic learning in fields like cybersecurity, software development, and data analytics. Through QA you can obtain a tech degree (BSc) or masters (MSc) in your current role minus the financial burden. 🚫 Myth: Apprenticeships are low-pay, low-skill roles. ✅ Reality: Modern apprenticeships offer competitive salaries and fast-track progression into high-demand, high-paying roles. For employers, apprenticeships are a way to invest in future talent. Apprentices provide long-term value by developing skills that align with the company’s needs.

Timely release of a new report The Great Skills Divide today. This visual shows the reduction in L2&3 apprenticeships, along with the increase in pricier L4-7. The report also shows we have an oversupply of Level 2 qualified people and an under supply of L4. Interestingly, for apprenticeships there is an over demand for L3 and a huge under supply. For example, our own data shows that for those wanting a L3 Software Developer Apprenticeship, candidates stand a 1.2% chance of getting one. Yet firms are increasingly offshoring their dev work overseas. You can see where the skills gap starts to widen, in which no one wins. #apprenticeships #generalelection Report by Learning and Work Institute
